Men's adidas Superstar: Top Dog for Half a Century

The adidas Superstar for men has been around for over 50 years and it still feels fresh and new. Sure, over the years there have been a few tweaks, but the shoe has stayed remarkably true to the inspired simplicity of the initial design: the hallmark of a genuine classic. These days, the men's adidas Superstar sneaker has rightly earned pride of place in the brand's Originals collection.

Fast on its Feet to King of the Street

In its era,  the adidas Superstar for men dominated on the basketball court, but it has long since transitioned into a casualwear favourite. It's featured in rap songs and video games, and where other sneakers sink to the bottom of the closet after a while, the clean minimalism of its design has helped it weather changes in fashion.

What Makes it Special?

When it first appeared, the men's adidas Superstar stood out because of its soft, premium, full-grain leather, the first time this had ever been used on a pair of trainers. Another distinctive feature is the thick rubber “shell toe,"" just the thing to cushion your foot on a hard landing. The upper has perforations to the midsection, and there's a padded ankle patch for extra support and stability. Modern releases keep all the authentic touches loved by Superstar fans, such as the trefoil logo to the heel and the zigzag edges to the three stripes.

Styling Tips for the adidas Superstar for men

In the '80s, Run-DMC wore them with bucket hats, jeans and puffa jackets. These days, you're more likely to team your men's adidas Superstar trainers with an equally simple and timeless adidas Superstar track jacket and fleece bottoms. A pair of skinnies can also partner up well, contrasting a light shoe with a dark pant or vice versa. But a major part of the shoe's appeal is that you can wear it across a whole range of different fashion styles.
