I've now added the brown nubuck quilted Superstar II TLs to the collection. I also bought a pair of Tennis Advantage in white with blue and red stripes to add to the ranks of my non-SS adidas trainers.
Must say, I'm not completely convinced of the quilted tongue and heel piece on the SSIIs, but I love the colour and those parts are hidden below jeans anyway. Even if I'm not completely convinced, it also makes them slightly different from the others, and you need a degree of that in a collection!
Not sure what's next. I still really want a pair of white and navy Superstar I, but I still can't find them anywhere. I did have a look when I was on holiday in Krakow before Easter, but despite finding a fairly nice shop hidden away at the back of a tenement on the Florian Way that had some now unusual old stock, I could not find what I want.
If I can't track them down, I suppose a pair of white and navy Superstar IIs and white and a pair of white and black Superstar Is is a possibility. Unless anyone knows where I could find what I could find a pair of those elusive SS1s in a UK10?

nice start on your collection.
in regards to white and navy, ss1s, I haven't noticed any on my searches, but there were loads of the white with lighter blue stripe (from the same release as your white with red).

Thanks for the compliments on the collection and the comments. I like the white and blue pair you're talking about, but I'm really wanting a pair of SS1s with white rubber.
White and navy SS1s with white rubber just went completely unavailable on trainerstation in the last couple of weeks (they'd been sold out in a 10 for long before that) and I think that they also sold out of the white and blue SS1s that you're talking about in a 10 very recently. If I recall correctly, they still have them in other sizes. I could still be tempted by a pair of them if they were cheap enough, but it's those white and navy ones that would take priority!

Thanks for the further replies. I might be careful about waiting too long with the quilted nubucks. I was going to wait, but in the UK they started selling out everywhere so I thought I should grab them whilst I still could!

Greetings all. Since I posted the photo of my collection, I have now added the quilted nubuck Superstar II TLs and I have also just got a pair of Superstar 80s in white with blue.
Having said that, something just doesn't look right about them. I have seen them in Cruise (high-end fashion retailer in Edinburgh and Glasgow) and they are identical to the pair that I purchased from Size Online. They are not lined in the same way as every other pair of adidas originals trainers that I have (13 other pairs) and they are also lacking the usual serial label under the tongue.
Is this normal on the SS80s? As I say, the ones I got from size are identical to those I saw in Cruise. Neither has the usual serial labels.
Both Size and Cruise are reputable places to buy, so there shouldn't be any question of fakery, but it seems strange to me that there is no lining and the serial labels are not present.
There is also the question of the leather (or leatherette, whichever it is) inner sole...
I'm guessing some of you real experts out there will tell me that these are features of the SS80s, but I would still like to know before I panic and return them!
As an aside, does anyone know anywhere that I can get a pair of plain Superstar 1s in the UK? Foot Locker have now stopped selling them in white and black (hence I bought the SS80s instead). They seemed to be the only place that had these in the UK, but they've been incredibly easy to find the last three times I've been abroad (Czech Republic and twice to Poland), just more expensive than they are here. In fact, quite a few shops, such as the addias originals store in Prague were displaying them right next to white and black Superstar IIs! Any ideas for that also appreciated...I just really want another pair of nice SS1s!

Hey man, Edinburgh guy here.
Probably a useless post as I don't own any 80's (yet), but if a place like Cruise is selling them that like that then that must be the way they're supposed to be. You obviously know your stuff man which is good to see. Obviously wait til a non drunk member (who know's that he is talking about) replies but you should be all good man.
How much they charging in Cruise by the way? Gonna be on George St tomorrow so might have a nose about.
Nice collection by the way, going for the classics which is ace.
