These adidas Superstars Add Huge Varsity Letters On The Heel

The adidas Superstar is one of the most ubiquitous sneaker silhouettes in the history of athletic footwear. It’s seen many a unique iteration over its nearly 50-year existence, and adidas Originals continues to find interesting new ways to put a spin on the rubber toe-capped shoe, the latest of which is a two-pack of Superstar 80s featuring huge chenille varsity-style letters on the heel. Arriving in both black and white, each pair offers a premium leather upper with tonal three stripe branding. The aforementioned chenelle letters continue the tonal look, with the left shoe featuring a “SUPER” hit while the right finishes the branding with “STAR.” Each shoe’s retro look is completed with a classic sail toe cap, midsole, and outsole. Fan of the vintage varsity aesthetic? Both pairs are available at atmos Tokyo now for ¥14,000, or around $126 USD.
