What is black and white and worn all over? The Adidas Superstar, of course. With its iconic three-stripe design, these sneakers are today’s hottest trend. Worn by athletes and supermodels alike, the Asics Gel Lyte 3 Femme Adidas Superstar shoes have seen a rapid increase in popularity Adidas Superstar Mujer over the past few years. However, few people know the unique history Nike Roshe Run Womens that these shoes hold.
The year was 1969. Man took his first steps on the moon, The Beatles released their final album together, and Adidas released the Superstar shoe, a low-top version of the Adidas Pro Model. At the time, this shoe was the first low-top basketball shoe to have an all-leather upper and rubber toe. This was groundbreaking for a time when canvas basketball shoes were considered the norm.
The Adidas Superstar’s unique features quickly became popular amongst the NCAA and NBA. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, six-time NBA Most Valuable Player and highest scorer in NBA history, was perhaps the Superstar’s biggest fan. In 1971, Adidas became one of the first companies to release player-endorsed Adidas Gazelle Donna basketball shoes. Jabbar’s Adidas set the bar for future signature Adidas Superstar Femme Noir player sneakers.
In just a few short years, this revolutionary shoe was being worn by over 75 percent of all NBA players. The rubber shell on the toe (which gave the shoe the nickname “shell shoes”) provided players with superior protection and durability and Adidas’ newly developed cushioning technology gave the players better comfort compared to past sneakers.
In 1983, Run-D.M.C., a rap group from Hollis Queens, New York, began to appear on the rap music scene. The trio stood out for rebelling against the traditional flashy attire of rhinestones and spikes that most musical artists had been wearing up until this point. Instead, the group decided to dress on stage the same way they dressed on the streets. This included kangol hats, leather jackets and unlaced Nike Air Max 2016 Donne Adidas Superstars. The shoe received a lot of promotion from the rap Adidas NMD Dames group as they performed in them on their tours across the United States.
The group attempted to flip the negative stereotype associated with “b-boy” and hip-hop culture. A few years later, Adidas signed a $1.6 million endorsement deal with Run-D.M.C. This was the first collaboration between hip-hop artists and a major corporation. Together, Adidas and Run-D.M.C. created a limited edition Superstar sneaker as well as a clothing line, which is still in production today under the label “Adidas Originals.”
