adidas superstar

Overview:
The original Adidas Superstars were released in 1969 as a low top Pro Model. At 40 plus years old, the Superstars have been adidas best selling model. Arguably, adidas would not be the brand it is today without the Superstar. The success of the Superstar is very comparable to the influential Converse Chuck Taylor. Within a few years of the Superstar’s release, nearly three quarters of the NBA was wearing these adidas basketball shoes. After years of unexpected publicity from iconic rappers such as Run D.M.C and Felon Sneakers the original Superstars are more commonly seen on the sidewalk than on the court.

Style/Design:
The classic three stripe design was brought into the mainstream thanks to the adidas Superstar. Often nicknamed for the unique toe, the superstar has been referred to as the shelltoe or shell shoe. All versions of this popular adidas basketball shoe have been known for their long lasting shell. Whether you use these shoes for casual wear or roll on the court with these classic kicks, you’ll have to replace the laces before you toss these kicks in the garbage. Updated versions of the Superstar such as the Superstar G2 have continued the success of these classic adidas basketball shoes. However, it’s the original style that brought this shoe on the NBA court and carried adidas into stardom.

Fit:
Read any user review on the web and you’ll gain the confidence required to feel comfortable pushing the “Buy” button. Try these shoes on and you’ll be enticed to go back to the site you bought them from and brag yourself about how comfortable they are. The adidas Superstars are true to size but are a little narrow, if you have average sized feet you’ll be fine but if you have wide feet consider the Superstar G2’s which are a little wider.

Price:
Year after year, even with the skyrocketing popularity, the adidas superstar had remained an affordable basketball shoe. Original models can be found just about anywhere but you can find the ADIDAS Superstar Original at Finishline for about $40 . Major shoe retailers typically buy the Superstars once a year, so you will see prices hit their peak a few months before basketball season. Look for clearance prices in the off season and as always, look for coupon codes for free shipping or percent off deals.
