Andrew Rizzo The adidas Superstar is a sneaker that needs no introduction, but no matter how iconic a silhouette may be, even the greats need a periodic rebirth. The Three Stripes is doing just that with help from a new cast of collaborators that speak directly to today’s youth, including Young Thug’s Sp5der imprint, Hellstar, and now Houston based streetwear brand DIOS (Did It Ourselves).
Founded by Houston rapper Le$ and multidisciplinary creative Jorgey, DIOS represents a generation of artists and creators who carved out their own lane. Fittingly, the brand’s first adidas collab has a clear DIY edge. Tear-away canvas stripes reveal a black leather layer underneath that matches the rest of the upper. Another defining detail is less obvious: a hidden stash pocket on the inner tongue, sitting just below graffiti style text reading “Make Shit Happen,” perfect for your… forbidden flowers (a la Travis Scott shoes and various Nike SB releases).
DIOS x adidas co-branding appears throughout, most notably on the tongue, backtab, and lateral heel. More graffiti text reading “Did It Ourselves” shows through a semi-translucent outsole, while overbranded laces and a gold hangtag round out the package. The design lands on the Superstar XLG silhouette, which features wide laces and a much chunkier midsole for a skate minded edge. DIOS has also revealed an alternate white friends and family colorway on social media, but that pair will not see a public release.
The DIOS x adidas Superstar XLG drops November 24th, 2025 for $130 exclusively through adidas CONFIRMED. See official images below if you plan on going for a pair.
