Good morning, everybody!
My name's Fredo. I'm a plumber from north of Toronto, ON, Canada. I happened upon this forum when I was looking for some history on the Adidas Superstar line. I figured its high time I bone up on my Superstar history now that I'm nearing double digits in my 'collection'.
I write 'collection' in quotations because my 'collection' is tiny and quite frightened when compared with the
collections I've seen here. You see, I haven't had a chance to look around too much yet, and as such haven't found any of that history I was looking for, but I did find the Members Collection section, and oh man, you guys got some niiiiice sneakers.
I love my Superstars. All of them. I even love my non-Superstars Adidas (of which I believe I have three). I've been wearing them since I was seventeen and have very seldom worn any other type of shoe since. I don't wear any of them to work, obviously, but I will be first in line if they ever make a line of Adidas Superstar steel-toes.
Outside of my day job its mostly just video games, TV, some music, and weekend trips up north to cottage country during the summer. I'm considering reducing the video games and increasing the music. I figure since I now have a carefully curated selection of rock star kicks, I might as well work towards climbing on stage and showing them off.
Well, that's me. I'm looking forward to being a non-destructive member of this forum, and I'm hoping to learn some cool stuff on the way. At the very least, I'll get to see some sweet sweet shoes. Cheers!

Welcome fredman_vice
Thanks for taking the time to write an interesting background piece.
I'm sure these peeps will be able to fill in any 'gaps' in supes history you have, most folk on here would say it's not the size of the collection that counts but the quality.
Cheers

Hello fredman. Like lorre said this is the place to learn about superstars.
Pukka if I was to hazard as guess I would say it's because steel is not a great material for any sort of clothing.

Greetings!
Excellent intro (again noobies take note) welcome to SSDB.
Don't worry more than one pair is a collection, take your time don't feel you have to try and catch up to the rest of the main heads on here - that will cost you mucho $£€¥.
Didn't the Superstar Safety come with a steel toe cap?
