Show us the money!!! Lets see the rest of them then... with respect anybody can have a pic of the Top Secrets.
It's not all about how rare they, are as you'll find out if you stick around.
Welcome by the way.
Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in while you could miss it.

This is what I got down here in San Diego. The rest of my collection is up in the Bay Area at my other pad. Not bad though...
This is just the shoes part of my collection and doesn't include any of my adidas tracksuits... I collect those too.

6 Superstars in that picture ?

Why yes, but it would be seven if you include the #35 to the right. The stack of black boxes are all of my running shoes. I use to buy new balance for running but my adidas addiction spilled into my exercise routine. Now all my workout gear and running shoes are adidas... Some of the others are:
Samoa Trefoil X. I really like the Samoa's in grey with the blue trefoil.
Black and Red Adi Racer Plus Low, these are just bad ass.
A pair of Nastase, I had to try them out. I don't really like them that much.
And a brand new pair of Supermods. I'd consider those superstars though. They should have named them Super Modified Superstars, but I guess that's kinda what they did by naming them Supermods.
This would make 8 if you counted my way

I make that 6 in total then.
Super Modifieds should have been renamed Super Shit and sure as fuck shouldn't have the name Superstar after them.
They go against everything the Superstar means to most of us in here.
Take them outside, burn them, then post the pictures.
Only then will we talk to you !

LOL... You don't understand what these are for me. They are a way of holding on to my younger years. I remember way back then every time I look at them. I bought them for me and they work fine for what I bought them for.
These aren't bad shoes. If I could find the exact shoes that I use to have, I probably would have bought them instead, but I can't. Maybe with some help from the members here, I could.
Why don't you like the supermods anyway?

Gash? Is this slang for crap? I'd agree that they are crap, but they are the closest I could find to my cherished old ones that were laid to rest last year...

Welcome Adolf,
You're in San Diego? I'm up in Long Beach. I come down there all the time... Actually come to down to Vista (not quite SD) at least twice a month for business. I have a customer there.
By the way, 23 posts so far in less than a day... you might want to slow your roll just a bit. You're bound to get your hand smacked if the masses feel your racing to 150 posts.
This is definitely a tight group of people (mostly in the UK & EU but there are several of us here in the states) that love and embrace new members who are truely SUPERSTAR (not just adidas, but Superstar) collectors, no matter the size or state of your collection... and not just people looking to one day sell stuff. They'll boot you out quick if that is where you're going.
By the way, You'll quickly pick up on the British slang and get used to the use of the letter "U" in words where they don't belong... (It's COLOR, not Colour!). Incidentally, my favorite Brit slang word is Wanker, or even Pirate's patented "WANK!"
