It’s been a while since adidas’ iconic Superstar has been utilised on the courts. It’s reputation of a classic lifestyle shoe has resulted in this silhouette being subject to more than enough colour-ups to go with any outfit.

adidas’ association with the NBA has always been strong and we’ve seen plenty of NBA influenced make-ups. Superstar 80’s have been back on the scene for a few years now, much to the delight of many sneaker collectors but this release see’s the Superstar 2 making a comeback for a Knicks inspired colour-up. The clean white upper and outsole is accompanied by hits of blue & orange that the Knicks are famous for sporting on their jersey’s. This one is a relatively simple and clean make-up that does the Superstar justice.

Though the shape is not as on point as the Superstar ’80s, this release is still pretty solid.

Available from Crooked Tongues now.
