Hi - Ubar - 24-04-08

Hello,

I have a couple of pairs of superstars and would like to know more! having no luck finding a replacement for a paticular pair

You're in the right place! Welcome!

RE: Hi - Samo - 24-04-08

Hi!

Where you from? what do you do? got any pics of your soops?

RE: Hi - Ubar - 24-04-08

I'm from England (seems plenty of us on here!)

Got pics yep, was going to start a new thread in another section but I might as well post them here eh-

This is the first pair I got (and would really like to identify)
They are different in many ways to other pairs ive seen, such as no detail on the upper heel, well padded inside (compared to my second pair), lace eyelets are different to other pairs ive seen, and the 3 stripes are very far forward (which looks mint imo). Could they be fakes? I bought them in some time around 1999/2000 but I dont remember where from, think it was a sports shop (i.e. not a market stall). I dont have them anymore as i wore them to extinction haha

Black Suede, white toecap and sole, white rubber stripes.


These are the replacements i bought quite a while ago because i couldnt find any of the above. They have no padding to speak of inside and I am pretty certain these are genuine Adidas although I dont know what specific model.

Black leather, white toecap and sole, white leather stripes and heel


Help would be much appreciated!

The second pair are superstar 1s, and I think that Schuh are still selling something similar.

---

RE: Hi - Samo - 24-04-08

the top pair are rather strange

---

RE: Hi - Ubar - 24-04-08

They were really comfy, I liked them a lot more than that second pair I have.
The inside was padded and lined with like white terry cloth/velour sort of material (the black on the pic was ducktape trying to get a few more days wear out of them before they went in the bin)

RE: Hi - olstar - 25-04-08

RE: Hi - spitey - 25-04-08

if you want something you really need to hunt proper like.
if you want padding. try superstar skates.

RE: Hi - Ubar - 29-04-08

Too right, have been wearing gazelles more recently as those supers were disgraceful

Not quite the same but certainly a lot closer than a normal superstar. Excellent cheers bud
