The adidas Superstar? Its creation came from the DNA of the Supergrip and Pro Model and was driven by feedback from Basketball players.
The distinctive shell toe was added, and the first adidas Superstar officially launched in 1970. In the early 80s, as shoe technology
continued to evolve and personal sponsorship started to change the
game, players moved away from the Superstar to competitor brands and
newer adidas models.
