    A journey through time: from the basketball court to the subcultures

    The history of the adidas Superstar begins in the 70s, when the shoe was launched as a basketball performance model. With its leather construction, improved grip and the sneaker's iconic "shell toe", it revolutionized the world of sport. The superstar made a name for himself early on with NBA successes such as the Boston Celtics title.


    But the superstar didn't just stay on the court. In the 80s, he established himself primarily in the hip-hop scene. Run D.M.C., one of the most influential rap groups of their time, turned the superstar into a cult figure. Their legendary concert in 1986, where they asked fans to hold their sneakers in the air, remains an iconic moment in sneaker culture to this day. Right at the forefront: the adidas Superstar. With "My adidas", Run D.M.C. even dedicated an anthem to the silhouette.


    From the basketball courts to the subcultures of hip-hop, punk, grunge and skateboarding - the Superstar has accompanied and shaped trends over the decades like no other sneaker. Collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Nigo and A Bathing Ape have ensured that the model has never gone out of fashion and continues to find its way back onto the streets.

    Disappeared from time to time but never completely gone

    After a few years out of the spotlight, the Superstar is finally back. The Superstar 82 goes back to the version from the same year and impresses with its high quality and characteristic details. Not only is the leather used high quality and therefore offers protection and comfort, but the classic "shell toe" is also retained and protects against moisture and cold. The silhouette is rounded off by the discreet three stripes and the timeless yet high-contrast appearance.
