I bought these beautiful kicks in central London back in the summer of 1999 while I was travelling to a scout camp in the U.K. The shoes became a collectible for me but it’s time they find a new home and hopefully get to travel the streets.

Will you tea them on for new adventures? :)

CONDITION:
The shoes are in excellent “as new condition” and while they actually are 25(!) years old they look brand new vintage. They come in new and customised box (not original box due to age).

The shoes are labeled US 9,5 / UK 9 / FR 43,5 / 275. I normally wear size FR 43 and these shoes don’t feel too big since the padding is plush.

STORY:
ORIGINALS SHOES
adidas Originals represents a strong connection to the adidas heritage. When Adi Dassler debuted his first training shoe for runners, adidas shoes were forever tied to sport. Today, adidas Originals shoes celebrate their history with modern design updates to some of our most iconic sport-inspired silhouettes. Blur the lines between sneakers, high-tops and retro running shoes with fresh takes on classic looks like Superstar, Continental and Gazelle. Originals shoes commemorate Adi’s founding passion and vision by combining authentic sports heritage and global streetwear style.

ADIDAS ARCHIVE: ORIGINALS
As sports and athletes began to influence mainstream culture in the mid-20th century, sport-specific looks started appearing in everyday streetwear for the first time ever. With the cultural acceptance of sportswear in fashion fueled by hip-hop style, the role of sportswear was forever changed in the 1970s. adidas embraced this cultural shift by establishing the Originals category, marked by the iconic Trefoil logo and punctuated by the popularity of the Stan Smith shoe. Originals is focused on creating modern streetwear looks inspired by our deep sportswear heritage and classic, timeless designs.

Run DMC, a hip-hop group, also added to the popularity of the Adidas Superstar silhouette by wearing them on stage with the tongue out and laces discarded.

Providing the people with more options in picking a pair of these kicks, some iterations for the silhouette were made. One of the shoe’s variations is the Adidas Superstar Suede. This version of the low-top sneaker showcases a suede upper yet retains the rubber shell toe for the classic effect on the look of the shoe.

THE ADIDAS SUPERSTAR SUEDE
Another variation of the classic and one of Adidas' iconic silhouettes, the Adidas Superstar, is the Adidas Superstar Suede. First released in 1969 and has since then gained popularity. A suede upper and the signature rubber shell toe are featured in this version of the shoe. This low-top sneaker offers great comfort for the wearer and one can almost never go wrong with this low-top sneaker.

STYLING NOTES
When it comes to style, the Adidas Superstar Suede displays a combination of sports style and casual style. This low-top shoe shows versatility in style, especially when used for fashion purposes as it can go well with a variety of appropriate outfit choices.

The shoes goes very well with an appropriate top and a pair of cuffed jeans, fitted jeans, skinny jeans, regular jeans, today’s 90’s inspired baggier trousers, and shorts.
