The adidas Superstar Suits Up in Velvet and Satin for Spring 2026

The adidas Superstar has been everywhere this year. Between a colossal brand campaign fronted by Samuel L. Jackson and a steady flow of high-profile collaborations, the streetwear staple has reclaimed a central place in the cultural spotlight. And while the partnerships have generated plenty of noise, adidas’ in-line offerings have been just as smooth — literally, in the case of this new velvet-trimmed Superstar accented with satin laces.

This edition of the Superstar leans into a refined mix of texture and sheen. Plush black velvet forms the base of the upper, giving the shoe a soft, elevated feel that stands apart from the traditional leather build. The tonal richness of the velour sets the stage for sharp contrast, with cream Three Stripes and heel tabs introducing a clean vintage touch. Gold “SUPERSTAR” stamping and metallic eyelets bring subtle flashes of sophistication to the design, complementing the luxe material choices.

The satin laces are the standout flourish. Cut wide and arranged in a ribbon-like style, they introduce a sense of elegance without losing the sneaker’s casual edge. Combined with the velvet underlay, the laces push the silhouette toward a dressed-up aesthetic that still reads unmistakably as a Superstar.

Signature elements return unchanged — the classic shell toe, the vulcanized sole unit, and the shape that has anchored the Superstar for decades. Even dressed in velour and satin, the model remains grounded by its heritage construction, bridging old and new in a way that aligns neatly with adidas’ broader push for refreshed classics.

With its blend of soft textures and understated contrast, this velvet-and-satin Superstar feels like a natural extension of the brand’s focus on elevated materials across the Originals line. No release date has been announced yet, but it is expected to arrive as part of Adidas Originals’ Spring 2026 lineup on Adidas.com.
