Amazon.com Product Description

The Superstar was introduced in 1969 as the first low-top basketball shoe featuring an all-leather upper and the now-famous rubber shell toe. By the mid 70s, three-quarters of all NBA players were wearing the new shell toe shoes from adidas, and the Superstar has been in production ever since. Truly a classic, the Superstar II features a soft tumbled leather upper, a rubber cupsole with herringbone traction design, and a die-cut EVA insert for added comfort.

5.0 out of 5 stars classic!, November 10, 2002

Superstars (a.k.a. shelltoes) have been around for a while and gained fame through Run DMC. I mostly wear Adidas Superstars because they are relatively inexpensive and are pretty durable. Because they are low-tops, they don't provide as much support when playing basketball but Superstars are still excellent shoes. They're stylish and come in a wide variety of colours. Pair these up with some nice fat laces and you're all set.

i had purchased these kicks three years ago for work purpose. three years later i still wear them everyday. my job is fairly labor intensive, so they have really taken a beating. while they are still in decent shape and by far my most confortable shoe, i am ordering another pair or two from amazon. cant wait to get my new pair to start breaking them in!

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best pair of sneakers I've ever owned, February 3, 2004

I bought these in black with white stripes almost three years ago. They have been my primary daily wear sneaker since then, and they are still in wearable condition. I used to be real careful with them, and brush them off whenever they got soiled, but I stopped doing that for the last year or so. I trek through dirt, mud, sand, gravel, and miles upon miles of pavement, and these little buggers show almost no treadwear. The only restorative effort I've made is to replace the laces. I can see these things lasting at least another year or so, but I'm tempted to simply retire them now, just because I like buying new sneakers. If you can see yourself rockin' these, then go ahead and add these little beauts to your family. Your feet will thank you for it.
