Bueno Skateboards made a name in the middle ’00s with their whimsical deck designs, but like many brands faced with financial challenges in and around the 2008 meltdown, they had to take things in a new direction to remain viable. Roger Skateboards phoenix’d from Bueno’s ashes with the same founding team in ’08, featuring Michael Sieben’s distinctive designs and a crew of riders who’ll love to get their hands on the label’s first sneaker collaboration. The Roger x adidas Ronan is done in navy suede with red accents including the Sieben-penned sockliner and tongue label, and features the guest designer’s brand name in gold on the side panels as well. Let us know how this first Ronan collabo compares to earlier colorways and stick with Sneaker News for word on US availability. Photo: Kasina
