classics are never "over the hill"

Click on the title above to preview the 35th anniversary adidas Superstar basketball sneaker.

The Superstar was introduced in 1969 as a performance basketball shoe and was the shoe of choice for high school, college and NBA players throughout the 1970s.

In the '80s, it became the footwear of choice for the emerging hip-hop generation, exemplified by the rap group Run-DMC, which wore unlaced adidas Superstars exclusively on-stage for years, even penning an ode to them in the mid-'80s.

The '90s saw a revival of the Superstar as streetwear, with any number of variations on the original design, including the SS2G series which refashioned the general look of the original into a modern basketball-worthy sneaker.

The 35th anniversary model features special embossed leather upper, metal eyelets and lace ornaments, and unique labeling. It is sure to be a hot seller for collectors and fashionistas alike.
