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. 

Adidas x Arrow & Beast bring elevated skate culture to the Superstar

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.
