Released in 1970, The adidas Originals SuperStar is in it’s own right one of the earliest low‑top basketball shoes with a full leather upper and a protective rubber “shell toe.” Over time, it transcended the court and became an icon of streetwear, especially in the 1980s, when hip‑hop group Run‑D.M.C. famously wore them. In 2020, the Superstar turned 50 years old, celebrating its ongoing relevance in sport, fashion, and culture. The classic white/black 3‑stripe version sits in a long lineage, a modern embodiment of one of Adidas’s most enduring silhouettes.
