adidas Superstar? No, this Three-Stripes model is an Ultrastar.

Seriously, its name is the adidas Ultrastar. And yes, it is indeed inspired by the original Superstar sneaker, even borrowing its iconic shell-toe and overall wide shape. However, the Ultrastar is a little different from its OG.

It features an oversized Trefoil stamp on the heel and tongue. It's also famous for its elastic tongue, which allowed folks in the '80s, like the Run-DMC crew, to go lace-free without losing support.

The adidas Ultrastar has dipped in and out of the game over the years, with the most recent effort coming from Pièces Uniques in 2025. For 2026, adidas is giving the model a classic "Made in Germany" refresh.

Like with other adidas German-made sneakers, the Ultrastar is luxe from heel to shell toe. It offers white croc skin leather uppers, joined by quality green touches elsewhere.

Moreover, the Ultrastar sneaker features yellowed details that give the model some vintage flavor. The results are almost as if adidas earthed the model from the deep depths of the archive. But it's a brand-new take on the classic.

Right now, the adidas Ultrastar "Made in Germany" sneaker is scheduled to drop exclusively on atmos' website on May 25. It will retail for around $275.
