The Founding of adidas Superstar

The idea for this shoe came about when adidas wanted to find a way into the American basketball market. As a result of this, the Superstar was born! It was the first ever basketball shoe to feature an all-leather upper and was better than any other trainer at providing support. In 1976, the brand released an updated version of the shoe, which featured a new sleek look and better materials.

Originally a shoe for sport, the Superstars found a new market – casual footwear! This was due to the shoe being at the forefront of the hip-hop and skateboarding scenes. RUN DMC, a rap group, always wore these adidas shoes during their performances, especially on the US tour. Because of this, Superstar sales skyrocketed.

Adidas continue to create many different colourways for these shoes, keeping them fresh and up-to-date. An example of this was when the brand released these trainers in NBA colours matching the teams. In 2025 the shoe became the brand's top-selling sneaker in 2015, selling 15 million pairs! The Superstars aren’t just a shoe, they’re history.
