The adidas superstar


Adidas has been a longtime basketball shoe manufacturer and is one of the leading basketball brands in the world. They are most famous for their iconic Superstar and Pro Model shoes, affectionately known as "shelltoes" for their stylized hard rubber toe box. These were made very popular in the 1980s hip hop streetwear scene alongside Adidas' stripe-sided polyester suits.
Adidas is also the current outfitter of all 30 franchises in the National Basketball Association (replacing the Reebok brand after the merger) and sponsors numerous players past and present like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Tracy McGrady, as well as Dwight Howard, Chauncey Billups, Derrick Rose, Eric Gordon, Michael Beasley, Josh Smith, Tim Duncan, Gilbert Arenas and Tony Parker. Adidas used to endorse Kobe Bryant with the Adidas Equipment KB8 as his first signature shoe, and stopped endorsing him in 2003. The company also endorsed Kevin Garnett, until he opted out of his contract in 2010. Lebron James also wore Adidas at high school. Now he endorses Nike to date.
Superstar is a basketball shoe manufactured by athletic goods company Adidas since 1969, released as a low top version of the Pro Model basketball shoe. Nicknamed the "shelltoe", "shell shoes", and "shell tops" for their rubber shell toe piece, their iconic design is known as one of the major influences in the sneaker culture. In 2005, adidas commemorated the 35th anniversary of the Superstar by collaborating with icons from the world of music, fashion and arts to create the adidas 35th Anniversary collection.

The adidas makes a lot of good looking pair shoes, and they make a lot of stuffs too like Nike does. And these superstar is one of the best shoes, people like these, and it looks so simple, so people can match with their clothes easily. I have had a white one, and I really happy with these. Every white sneakers get dirty easily, but I still like thsese.
I think these run right or little bit big.
