When I was younger, everyone wanted the Adidas superstars. We called them ‘Shell-Toe Adidas’ because the toe box was made of rubber and looked like a clam shell. Once Run-DMC started rocking them and made a song about them, it was over! So when I found these in our Sample Closet, a nostalgic smile came to my face. After the jump, more pics and a surprise for you.
The Adidas Superstar sample we have is a very unique shoe. A creme colorway with white stripes and toe box make for an striking contrast. The Adidas logo on the heel tab is gold. On this particular sample, the Adidas logo is embossed throughout the shoe, connected by white dots. I don’t remember seeing a Superstar like this before. What was cool about the Superstar was the many color combinations they came in, perfect for mixing and matching depending on the gear you were rocking. After the pics, check out Run-DMC video of them performing their ode to the Adidas Superstar they always rocked.
