adidas Superstar

Become a trendsetter with the JD Sports Australia range of adidas Originals Superstar shoes and clothing for men, women, and kids. This athletic-inspired collection is an enduring staple of the fashion scene, with new releases—and re-releases—landing each year; these range from the classic sneaker to the modern adiFOM slip on. In our exciting line-up, you’ll discover not only a load of variations of the legendary trainer (including the ever-popular black and white colourways) but also tracksuits (track pants and tops) with the brand’s signature Trefoil logo.

The Beginning of the Original Superstar

The adidas Superstar dropped in 1970, following in the footsteps of Converse, whose influence over the world of basketball had been absolute up until this pivotal year. Despite the prominence of the three-stripes brand’s rival, the attention of professional NBA players was shifted thanks to the Superstar’s unique selling point—that is, its leather upper and famous rubber shell toe cap. The newcomer, drifting away from the use of canvas, promised to offer greater support for the foot, and it didn’t take long for players to make the changeover.

Decades after its court-shattering release, the Superstar continues to make itself known, though not as a basketball shoe. It’s a regular of the streetwear crowd, a timeless silhouette that doesn’t know how to go out of style, no matter the era or the evolving trends that coincide.

AdiFOM Slip-On Sneakers

The Superstar originated as a basketball trainer, yes, but as the years go by and the creative individuals at adidas have time to challenge their imaginations, they can’t help but make a few changes. In comes the adiFOM slip on, a one-piece variation of the shell-toe shoe this time made from foam. It’s chunky, sleek, and undeniably modern, yet it manages to be recognisable. A true next step, not just for adidas, but for footwear as a whole.<
