Hi Guys,

Anybody want one of these? Three pairs remaining at my local Ross. US$30 plus whatever shipping cost to get to you.

I left them at the store but willing to go back to get them. I got a US9...even though I'm retired Wink nail polish remover is slowly working on removing the "aged" look. All of them come with spare black laces and some super fat red laces.

Send me a PM.

What are people's thoughts on these? I picked these up at this price a few months ago and I'm surprised they still have so much stock left. If they still had my size I'd snap up another pair at that price. Do people not really like them?

Hi all.

Thought I would introduce myself since it's 4:30am and can't sleep.

I'm Pete, I'm 31 from Basildon, Essex, UK and I'm starting to develop a serious superstar addiction! I say starting, in reality I've been wearing supes since I was maybe 16/17. My first pair were a simple Superstar 1, classic white with black stripes. I remember at the time being a bit naive and ordering what I thought would be a UK 12 from the USA which actually turned out to be like a 13 or a 13.5. Now given the only reason I wear bigger shoes is cause I have wide feet these things were like clown shoes on me! I now tend to go for a UK 11.5 or 12. However I recently bought a pair on eBay that are "made in China" (not sure if they are fake) and a size UK11.5 and they are tight as hell so I think I'm gonna start trying the 12s from now on to be safe.

So recently I made the mistake of adding "adidas superstar" as a saved search in my eBay app on my iPhone. I now find myself checking the search for new listings at least a few times a day looking for something different or a bargain. Recently picked up a black pair and a grey pair of the canvas superstar II IS with the colour card inserts. Bought both from the same seller at £40 a pair but realised afterwards that their was only one colour card between the two pairs. Just laced the black ones up with the black laces and stuck some old red stripes in from a pair of adicolor's I bought yonks ago. Also added a pair of 3 stripe silver lace jewels that I picked up last month as well. They look pretty decent! Anyhow I am starting to spend far too much on supes now!

As I write this I am getting married in 6 weeks and as a fun surprise I've been frantically buying superstars as cheap as possible on eBay for the wedding party. White/White for the bridesmaids and White/Navy for the groomsmen. Our wedding colour is a kind of Cadbury purple so I've got a load of purple laces and I've added the same square diamanté buckles from our wedding stationary as a lace jewel on the girls pairs as well. I'm still trying to work out what exactly I'm gonna do for my fiancée though. I've got a couple of options for her. I recently found a pair with purple stripes and some leopard print accents on the heel and lining inside or I've got a pair of white IS and I might make a custom colour card of some description (glittery maybe). I looked into having stripes made of silver but it was going to cost over £500 for the pair of us including the engravings I wanted which I couldn't justify.

Anyhow I hope that's a decent introduction and when I work out how I'll post some pics of what I've got.

Look forward to getting to know people.

Cheers

Pete

Evening all,

Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent FREE hosting site whereby I can upload on to here as and when I want. I was using imageshack but the bastards want to charge me!!! They can fuck right off.
Thanks in advance.

Well it seems as though I'm going to getting my hands on the BITD pack. The price seems right to me...... But was wondering what you all around here would call a fair price? BTW, that's all 3 pairs. Thanks Smile

Just thought I'd start a thread on the WC.
Halftime Brazil 1 - 1 Croatia
Never a good thing facing your own goal while trying to defend deep in your defensive third of the pitch.
Looking forward to 30 more days of the beautiful game.

Hope this works

had the house all to myself yesterday, so decided to create a new thread of my collection. no fancy pics or poses. just Supes. not the best lighting in my bedroom, so the flash kind of distorts some of the colors.

my box of laces
[Image: IMAG1212_zps5178bcff.jpg]

the lace jewels that I don't use
[Image: IMAG1224_zps2927caed.jpg]

[Image: IMAG1174_zps95f15357.jpg]

2 true 90's
2 SS1
6 35th
3 ProMods
and a few dozen SS2s... my favorite Wink

looked like this before I had an embarrassing bleach incident ON JUST ONE SHOE, so I made both shoes look the same
[Image: IMAG0315_zps56008149.jpg]
they actually aren't as yellow as this picture appears, kind of tan-ish...and...all of the stitching remained blue, so they have this kind "blueprint" look to them, so "cool" in the end afterall
