Probably not but looking at Superstar FTR, Pro Model FTR and Boston Super FTR only the first two have similarities. Only thing I can see is that dark leather in the back of the BS looks similar.
Did a quick image search and found Forum Lo FTR's and they also looks like SS and PM. Mainly black on black but with contrast stitching.
Maybe in BS it stands for the color way?

Hmmm I've seen BS's in other colorways such as "Loam/Black/Fango" that still say FTR. I'm leaning heavily on it being the type of leather, but the types of leather I know of are like full-grain, top-grain, etc.
Words like full-grain and tumbled come to mind... but tumbled doesn't explain these at all... :/

Yup I saw that and was reading it but still make sense of the FTR...
RE: Got trouble with ftr, wd, crk ..what stand for?? - einzigartig adidas - 15-05-13
So rethinking this... maybe it's not an acronym after all. If CLR means "clear", CRK means "cracked", and WD means "wide", then maybe FTR is also a single word with the vowels removed...
"Feature"? But that would normally be like "feat."...
RE: Got trouble with ftr, wd, crk ..what stand for?? - ez-1 - 15-05-13
I think Feature makes sense.
RE: Got trouble with ftr, wd, crk ..what stand for?? - einzigartig adidas - 15-05-13
But what would that even mean??? Feature leather...?

Thank you to all the wicked people who gave me shoes over the last two years, you helped make this video!!
RE: Got trouble with ftr, wd, crk ..what stand for?? - einzigartig adidas - 15-05-13
Haha, damn B. Is the video gonna explain FTR at the end?
Nice editing son!

hahaha nope, says ems at the end though. Took me the whole morning. I had no idea what I was doing. I saw a adobe tutorial on youtube, followed that, took ages. Then realised by experimenting I could have done it in a third of the time.
FTR means Feel The Rush

If I remember correctly the FTRs were boasting to be made out of Italian leather, so maybe FTR is short for some specific type of leather? The leather on the FTRs is proper solid, sort of like heavy fino leather. The FTRs even feel heavier than regular leather supes.
