Just getting into shoes -
Inc3pt - 03-08-08
I don't know if I'd call myself a collector quite yet but I'm definitely interested and this could be my next money-pit hobby

. The reason I ended up here was that I'm looking for some replacements for my current Adidas (not superstars), then I started browsing all the different types of superstars. I found the Superstar 2.5s and I really like them, but I'm having trouble finding them anywhere other than the adidas website.
I'm a total noob when it comes to shoes so go easy on me. I'm afraid of one thing though, I only see the Superstar 2.5s going up to size 10.5 on the adidas website. Does that mean they aren't made in anything over that??
Thanks everyone

Thanks, guess I should have mentioned where I was from.
West coast of the US (Portland, OR). I noticed that the UK site had bigger sizes but I'm hoping there's a way to get them in an 11.5 or 12 over here

Do you happen to know then if I can find the Superstar 2.5's in a size 11.5 or 12 over here?
Also, I wish I had a cool collection to post but I don't yet...sorry.

I just picked up the standard Superstar 2s white with black stripes

. I plan to get more, but I have to decide what my next pair is.

those superstar 2.5s are on shopadidas.ca so they're almost certainly on shopadidas.com.

Oh, whoops, I didn't make myself clear

I can definitely get to them on shopadidas.com but the size only goes to 10 or 10.5

Im just trying to figure out if theres anywhere in the US I can get them in a bigger size.
Edit: I forgot to do this earlier but my name is Tye and I'm 20.

Thanks!
I just got back from having a birthday lunch with my sister, and while we were downtown, she reminded me that we have an Adidas store. We walked down there and...they had a pair of the Superstar 2.5s in a size 12! (Both 11.5 and 12 seem to fit me just fine)
Anyway, so I've found them now, woohoo.
I still have a lot to learn about laces, styles of laces, etc...so if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. Also, like I mentioned, I've never paid too much attention to shoes before this...so if anyone has any general info they suggest I look over (other than laces), that would be awesome too!
I'm pretty sure this will be the next pair I buy:
