Being a bonafide footwear icon, the adidas Superstar is well within its rights to experiment with all kinds of textures, materials, and tones. But it’s not always about left-field collaborations or vibrant colors, with this stealthy black suede and metallic gold Superstar an exemplar of subtlety.
With uppers of a shaggy black suede and a tonal black Shell Toe and sole unit, the pair presenters with a simple, stable base. From there, you’d expect the Three Stripe to get heavy-handed with contrast Three Stripes and/or bold accents — but they don’t. They instead opt for lightly-textured nubuck overlays and tongues — all in black — and tonal liners, laces, and insoles. Adding some grandeur to the release is the heritage gold foil branding at the heel, mid-panel, and tongue to complete the design.
Grab a look for yourself just below, and be on the lookout for these at select Three Stripe stockists and adidas.com soon. As always, keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates.
