Sin is right... After seeing what NikeID & Puma M BBQ are doing, this is just a tease.
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited at the opportunity to get some customized Superstars that I designed on my feet. I don't expect it to be as versatile as Nike... But adidas can really do better.
This system would place a FAR OFF 3rd place after Nike & Puma and we all know...
... 3rd place is just another way of saying, "Second Loser".
It looks kinda cool, but i agree with Sin and King, it needs work to be up there with Nike (as much as people here might not like it, but we all know Adidas can do better). I have to say im a bit disapointed with the options and colours- i was expecting a huuugge range, but its early days i guess...
I cant wait to design my own customised SuperStars though!

Am I the only one who thought Nike system was crap as well? Puma's is the only half-decent system imo

I think the Nike system on the touchscreens in Niketown and online is rubbish, but i think from what i saw when i was in Niketown there were lots of colourways and textiles there, including denim- and you can book a consultation session with a member of staff to look at all the textiles and put the shoe together, which i thought was kinda cool...

Definitely not enough colour choices.
Could do with a minimum of 3 shades of each colour.

nikeid regulary changes availabe colors, materials and parts that you can customize (ie insole color, sole/leather stiching). atm i can't think of any 'hot' combination using what they prepared now..
cheers

I hope it gets better, these colours aren't exactly wow. Where's the pastels? The neon? The seventies wallpaper patterns?
I'm just gonna have to buy some plain whites (and try not to make a mess)

Thanks for the update Sk8 - looking good!
I definitely agree there's not enough colours available, but you can still do some kick ass SS. How about just plain black or white suede all over, maybe with a touch of grey stripes or lining? add chalk or gum shells and soles and we're in business! heck, any of these colours would work in all over suede - or is it just me who really likes the idea of suede Soups?
Superstars are indeed super...

No, I reckon you're right, I've got a few bits of planning going on.
I'd just like to have made a suede pair using 2 or 3 blues.
