Superstar x Footpatrol

In 2005 London’s Footpatrol created an understated tonal shoe in military green suede and leather. For their 10th Anniversary Consortium Superstar they have kept the one-colour approach, this time delivering a shoe in premium terracotta croc embossed leather. The years 2005 and 2015 are stamped into leather heel tabs, whilst Footpatrol branding is embroidered towards the rear of each shoe in cream. Soft leather lining and pig-skin suede Three-Stripes add tonal texture. As usual materials and construction are of the highest quality with Consortium detailing complimenting the lace aglets, suede sockliner and interior tongue label.

Superstar x D-Mop

In 2005 Hong Kong tastemakers D-Mop delivered an understated masterpiece in grey suede and leather. For their 10th Anniversary Consortium Superstar they have taken a different route. Sticking with traditional premium white leather for the upper, conventions are then broken with the Three-Stripes executed in red embroidery, edged with blue suede. The embroidered heel tabs, also in blue suede, feature a D-Mop logo on the left foot and the number 80 on the right, signifying the year D-Mop started. Further stitched numerical codes on the outer heel of both shoes reference important dates and numbers in D-Mop’. Impeccable materials and construction throughout are complemented by understated Consortium detailing; a suede footbed with 10th Anniversary branding, an inside tongue label that calls out D-Mop and Consortium lace aglets.

The adidas Consortium 10th Anniversary Superstar x Footpatrol and Superstar x D-Mop will be available from February 14th at No.42 Paris, No.74 Berlin and selected Consortium retailers, RRP 150 €.

For over a decade, adidas and influential fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto have enjoyed a successful partnership with their luxury sportswear label Y-3.

Now, from his Y’s line, Yamamoto has reworked the classic adidas Superstar, executing it to the highest standard. The Y’s version has been renamed Y’s Super Position and is made from premium materials – from the suede lace stay and soft leather lining to the smooth leather used on the toe box, replacing the textured shell toe as we know it.

The shoe has been designed in two colourways: a white shoe with white 3-Stripes and grey heel tab, and a black version with a white heel tab and black 3-Stripes stitch.

Y’s Super Position prelaunch at Y’s stores on January 31st and be available at No74 Berlin, No42 Paris and selected Consortium retailers worldwide on February 7th.

Undefeated’s black leather Superstar of 2005 was the first of many collaborations between the brands. Ten years later they celebrate their long and fruitful partnership with a luxurious remake of a shoe that holds special significance to Undefeated founder James Bond.

The UNDFTD 10th Anniversary Consortium Superstar features an all white leather upper with reptilian detailing, complemented by an off white leather lining to match the toe box and sole unit. The vintage adidas Superstar box logo appears in gold just behind the Three-Stripes, whilst Undefeated’s own 5-strike logo is embossed subtly on the lateral heel of both shoes. The shoe comes with three sets of monochromatic laces, one of which features Undefeated branding throughout.

The adidas Consortium 10th Anniversary Superstar x Undefeated will be prereleased at UNDFTD on January 30^th and available from January 31^st at No42 Paris, No74 Berlin and selected Consortium retailers.

In 2005 adidas Originals created a homage to their founder and namesake, adding a picture of Adi Dassler to the heel of an otherwise faithful remake of the OG vintage Superstar. Their 10th Anniversary Consortium Superstar flips the colorway with a premium soft black leather upper complimented by white leather heel tab and lateral Three-Stripes. Adi’s face features once again on the heel of both shoes in debossed black and white, whilst the Superstar’s classic tooling and toebox come in vintage off-white. Laces offered in Black or White feature Consortium aglets whilst the 10th Anniversary branding is featured on the inside tongue label and suede footbed.

The adidas Consortium 10th Anniversary Superstar x Adi Dassler will be prelaunched on January 30^th at No42 Paris and No74 Berlin and globally released at selected Consortium retailers on January 31^st.

From its humble beginnings on the basketball courts to becoming a regular fixture in popular culture time and time again, the Superstar has truly become royalty in sneaker culture. Since its introduction to the game in 1969, the Superstar has gone from hardwood floors to concrete streets to red carpets and back again.
Like many of adidas’ most revered archive silhouettes, the Superstar was originally released under ‘La marque aux 3 bandes’ and manufactured in the Detwiller area of East France.
Warming up to the Superstar’s 45th anniversary in 2015, adidas Originals have teamed up with Ateliers Heschung, a family run factory who manufactured shoes for adidas France in the 1970s, to create a special ‘Made in France’ Consortium edition of this much loved silhouette.
Constructed in luxurious premium leather, the Superstar’s upper is stitched to its distinctive rubber toe cap and tooling with traditional hand-held techniques. In keeping with the original, the three stripes and unbranded heel-tab are executed in smooth black leather whilst the crisp white upper is complimented by a subtle vintage ivory tone throughout the shell-toe, outsole and soft leather lining.
Proudly presenting its stamp of high quality construction and materials is the classic “Made in France” logo on the tongue.

The adidas Originals Superstar ‘Made in France’ will be available from December 12th at No.42 Paris, No.74 Berlin and selected Consortium retailers globally.
