The adidas Superstar Vintage “Made in Germany” sneaker is returning, scarce by design and flawlessly aged.

As the name suggests, this Superstar shoe is built in adidas’ homeland, continuing a recent rise in footwear the sportswear giant produces using German shoemaking craft. 

Built from premium leather with a smooth lining, the sneaker replicates the design of the original 1969 adidas Superstar. The iconic shell toe? Properly thick. The serrated Three Stripes? Zigging the way they used to.

Gold-foil branding, an off-white sole, and a subtly aged finish provide finishing touches to a sneaker that looks like it’s been hiding in a warehouse for over half a century.

Originally born as a basketball shoe, the adidas Superstar leapt from parquet to pop culture with unprecedented style. Thanks in large part to Run-D.M.C. wearing it in so many legendary videos, the sneaker has become an adidas staple. 

This German-made edition doubles down on that legacy by keeping the OG details that vintage collectors obsess over.

Dropping September 12 for $300 on adidas' website, the “Made in Germany” Superstar Vintage takes it back to the good ol’ days.
