adidas' Superstar has always been quite the gem. Now, the Three Stripes is taking that idea to new extremes with the "Jewel" Samba, a black canvas take on the sneaker that wears multi-colored jewel-like stones across the upper.

If nothing else, adidas is going to get quite literal with it.

White leather finds a home at the Three Stripes and heel tab, while gold adidas branding rounds out the sneaker's royal flavoring.

While adidas is prone to uniform enhancements in some cases, this shoe bets it all on rakish variety, with jewels of various sizes and colors that give the dressy sneaker some unraveled cool points. Homogeneity has no place where sneaker jewels are concerned.

Even when it comes to other sneakers like the Samba, adidas is quite fond of icing its best shoes out.

From glitter-kissed charm bracelets to fully bejeweled uppers, adidas' bling game has never been anything to play with. Halo-style studs along the upper feel like a natural progression from the brand's fine jewelry offerings.

Beyond the gem-heavy details, adidas keeps the Superstar's stylistic hallmarks in the fold: the rounded shell toe design, serrated Three Stripes and simple tonal laces.

Even with multihued stones in the mix, the Superstar stays a Superstar till the bitter, bejeweled end.
