My small collection
#1

Several weeks after I signed up (which have included several arguments with a builder and a loss adjuster following a leak) and promised to post this, here's a photo of my collection of Superstars.

At least I suppose it's a collection, if one can call four pairs a collection. My Ultrastars are also included for completeness!

I would like the next addition to be a pair of white superstar 1s in normal leather (the ones that I alreday have are quite a high polish), with white rubber and navy stripes. I don't think they've been in production for quite a while, though and I can't find a pair anywhere in a UK10.

Foot Locker are stocking almost the right pair at the moment, but they have black stripes and I also went hunting for them when I was in Prague before Christmas, but could only find black stripes there (albeit the logo on the tongue was different from the pair in Foot Locker in the UK). With a little luck, I might find a pair in Krakow when I go there just before Easter, if I haven't struck gold before then!

Other than that, there is a nice pair of Brown / Camel coloured Superstar IIs in Schuh at the moment. Doubtless someone will know precisely what they are, but they look like Superstar II TLs, albeit the tongues are quilted.

Thoughts / suggestions are appreciated.

Nice kicks amaninspired.
You're right those quilted SS2's are TL's, they're nice and the back bit with the logo is quilted too. Cool

Thanks for the replies. The laces on the shoes at each end are wider than the three in the middle, but I'm guessing that you mean wider than even the laces on them are!

I know none of the pairs that I have are particularly unusal, but so far I've been more interested in the look than the rarity of any particular shoe.

As well as the quilted TLs, I also quite fancy the adidas Tennis ADV that Schuh have recently got in stock (white with blue and red stripes). So I suppose the next purchase is likely to be either those, the quilted TLs, or (ideally) the elusive white and navy superstar 1s.

Any other thoughts / comments / suggestions appreciated!

It's not the size of the collection mate, it's whats in it, and you have some choice ones there. I really like those all white ultras. Give 'em a bit of a clean Laughing and pop some 20mm laces in. Result = even fresher!Very Happy
Keep up the good work.
