For a few seasons now, Adidas has been pushing the reemergence of the Superstar sneaker. Through various collaborations with brands like Wales Bonner, the Superstar sneaker has seen new life. With yet another exciting partnership, Adidas is adding more texture and color to the famed sneaker and pays tribute to skate culture along the way. Along with Germany-born skate retailer, Arrow & Beast, the athletic company is adding a sophisticated touch to the street-style look. Donning a new quilted pattern, the Superstar sneaker appears like an entirely new design, except for the iconic rubber toe. In this tribute to skaters and skate shops that keep the culture alive, Adidas finds a new, elevated iteration of the Superstar sneaker that manages to still stand out from previous collaborations.

Although the overall silhouette remains the same, the new Superstar collaborative design brings a chic quilted design to the forefront. Featuring a premium suede woven texture upper, the Superstar adds style with a simple twist. Also included in the design is the brand’s Adituff reinforcement and a cupsole construction. Typical of the Superstar sneaker, the shoe also provides leather lining and a rubber outsole. This new shoe will be available in two colorways that pay homage to the retailer’s two European locations. Releasing in beige and navy blue hues, the two iterations retail for $110 and are available via Adidas’ Confirmed app. Although the Superstar sneaker has seen plenty of variations in recent seasons, this new launch is a welcome addition to the growing lineup.

Although it may seem as if Adidas has done every possible iteration of the Superstar sneaker, the Three Stripes brand continues to push the boundaries for its iconic sneaker. Fresh off a high-caliber collaboration with Kith and Wales Bonner, Adidas is not done with the Superstar in 2025. In their newest release, the brand is taking the iconic silhouette into the fall season with a crocodile touch that’s elegant and elevated. While similar to its collaboration with Wales Bonner just a few weeks ago, the newest Superstar Vintage takes it a step further with more autumnal charm and vintage features. Slightly more luxurious than its previous collaborations, the new Superstar Vintage isn’t your typical street style sneaker anymore. Full of texture and donning a rich colorway, this iteration of the Superstar might be the favorite of the season.
