4 жыл бұрын

The Adidas Superstar has been culturally relevant for over 50 years now! The Adidas Superstar history stretches back all the way to 1968. It was the first sneaker to have it’s name mentioned in a song. Literally an anthem. Made famous by legendary rap group Run DMC in the 80s, in the modern times the Adidas Superstar is the perfect silhouette for collaborations. In this video we go into detail about the history of the Superstar and where the shoe originated. Enjoy!!

I am a big Superstar fan but didn't know the history till your video. Love that you did this. - you have another subscriber and I have watched some of your other videos also. Love it. The Superstar is a classic shoe. I don't know why but the shape and the staying lend themselves to such collaborations and design features. For the first time, after having various superstars for over 20 years I just today got my first pair of triple white's. WOW. I cannot believe how they look. I think an addiction is starting. 🙃 Thanks for the vid and I look forward to more. Any chance on a vid of the history of the Adidas Gazelle? .....
