Adidas Reimagines the Superstar in Glossy Black Patent Leather for Summer

It appears Adidas is giving some of its most iconic silhouettes and colorways a glossy refresh this summer. Following recent reveals of a black patent leather-trimmed Samba, the brand is now highlighting another staple—the Superstar.

This latest take on the adidas Superstar sees the classic silhouette dressed in an all-black patent leather upper, offering a bold and sleek spin on the timeless design. The glossy finish covers the upper, while the signature white leather Three Stripes and heel tabs stay true to the shoe’s original DNA.

Additional details include gilded Trefoil branding on the heel and tongue—another nod to the OG look—while the white rubber sole keeps the overall design grounded in its heritage roots. The contrast between high-shine black and crisp white ensures this version stands out without straying too far from its lineage.

No release date has been confirmed just yet, but this black patent Superstar is expected to arrive as part of Adidas Originals’ Summer 2025 lineup on Adidas.com.
