The adidas Superstar started as a basketball shoe. Then it became hip-hop and breakdancing's favorite model. Now, it's basically a rain boot.

Ah, the life of a Superstar.

But yes, adidas has released a new Superstar featuring GORE-TEX, making the world-famous sneaker ready for any wet weather and very breathable.

adidas has previously dropped GORE-TEX Superstars and even waterproof Stan Smith sneakers. And they were great, so much so that the brand brought some back recently. But the latest is a different kind of rainy day flex.

adidas has applied the wildly popular tech to the Superstar 82 model, a design that's super genuine to, well, the 1982 version. Seriously, the leather is perfectly creased as if the sneaker had been aging gracefully in the vault for the past 40 years.
