Adidas Skate team hits L.A. in new short

The Adidas global and American skate teams came together to hit the streets and playgrounds of Los Angeles in their latest skate short “Mid-City Merge.”
The Adidas team is stacked and they certainly didn’t hold back in the short film. The powerhouse cast includes professional skaters Dennis Busenitz, Lucas Puig, Benny Fairfax, Na-kel Smith, Tyshawn Jones, Silas Baxter-Neal, Alec Majerus, Nestor Judkins, Miles Silvas, Blondey McCoy, Rodrigo TX, Günes Özdogan, Jack Fardell, Gustav Tønnesen, Kevin Lowry, Chewy Cannon, Kaio Hillebrand, Nora Vasconcellos, and Frankie Spears. The nine-minute short was also an introduction for Norwegian shredder Magnus Bordewick, Adidas newest addition to the already talented global roster.
Shot in black-and-white to add drama and contrast, the grayscale adds an appealing aesthetic. Los Angeles’ landscape of infinite skate spots tied together by highways gives a glimpse into one of skateboarding’s most iconic urban backdrops.
