The Superstar was introduced in 1969 as the first low-top basketball shoe to feature an all-leather upper and the now famous rubber shell toe and outsole. By the mid '70s, three-quarters of all NBA players were wearing the new shell toe shoes from adidas, and the Superstar has been in production ever since. The fresh styling of the adidas Superstar 2 features the classic leather upper, rubber shell toe and a padded collar for additional comfort.
