After taking a bit of a hiatus, the ADIDAS SUPERSTAR has been making a strong comeback in a big way.

Now ADIDAS SKATEBOARDING join the party with a four-piece collection reworked as a tribute to four skateboarding pioneers – Kareem Campbell, Richard Angelides, Drake Jones and Joey Bast. These four individuals behaved as unofficial ambassadors of the Superstar and were seen wearing them in magazines and videos throughout the early-mid 1990s – one of the most important and innovative eras in street skating history. Seeing this formally recognised by adidas is a mark of genius and firmly cements the brand’s importance within skate culture.

The Kareem pair go with a predominantly white upper, with off-white detailing, whilst those colours are reversed on a mid-cut version for Angelides. Drake’s and Bast’s versions kind of follow suit, with almost reversed colourways of either white or black taking centre stage. All four pairs feature the skaters’ names in gold on the lateral side, whilst the Angelides pair goes with Stan Smith style branding on the tongue. Alongside each of the pairs there will be a t-shirt printed with historic action photography that pays homage to each rider.

The ADIDAS SKATEBOARDING RESPECT YOUR ROOTS COLLECTION will be split into two drops, with the Kareem Campbell and Richard Angelides pairs dropping on FRIDAY 3 ARPIL, whilst the Drake Jones and Joey Bast pairs will release a little later on MONDAY 1 JUNE. We Will have all the info you need up on our RELEASE PAGE, so make sure to check back with us.
