My Dad was working in German a lot at the time and after months of pestering he finally came home one weekend with a pair of "Made In France" white SS1's with black stripes. That were slightly too small but I couldn't have been happier. Second pair came about 18 months later when I scored a wht/red pair in Amsterdam.

I have a size 12/13 foot so Supes were never a consideration for me as most UK retailers - until now - stop dead at an 11, or if you're really lucky, a 12, and that doesn't work with a shoe as narrow and harsh as Supes are, so I never really took any interest in them.
I've always been into adidas and footwear, though, so one time I found a pair of red half-shells on t'net and from there stumbled onto Shotta's site on eBay, looking for 'red' 'adidas' in the search engine.. and et voila. I found a pair of Bulls in a 12UK, which were too small for me. I loved the design so I typed 'superstar' into Yahoo and it came back with this place as well as getting me my second pair which were the brown/green/white TL's.
It's been chaos ever since.
