The adidas Superstar Design

There are many design elements that contribute to the adidas Superstar's iconic appearance and enduring popularity. One of the most distinguishing features of the Superstar is its rubber shell toe cap. During basketball play, it protects the toes and sets the Superstar apart from other sneakers.

The shoe also features adidas' signature three stripes logo. In addition to adding sporty and stylish appeal, adidas' stripes make a great design element.

The uppers of Superstars are usually made of durable, flexible, and classic leather. A premium feel is provided by the shoe's leather construction. The Superstar's outsole has a herringbone pattern. Providing excellent traction and grip on a range of surfaces, the pattern is ideal for everyday use.

In addition, the Superstar is adorned with a gold Trefoil logo at the tongue and heel. This logo adds elegance to the shoe as well as representing the adidas brand.

A Cultural Icon

Many people around the world have fallen in love with the adidas Superstar, also known as the 'shell toe'. With the adoption of the adidas tracksuit and shoe as an unofficial uniform by Run DMC, it became prominent in hip-hop culture.

In addition to establishing the Superstar as a cultural icon, Run DMC's song 'My adidas' brought it to a wider audience as well. One of adidas' most popular shoes, the Superstar is better known today for its hip-hop roots than for its basketball origins.
