The adidas Superstar is just a classic, iconic sneaker, in the same way the Chuck Taylor is. The design is basically the same as it was in 1969 and while they release a number of different colorways and collaborations and designs, they don't stink of the same commercialism that Nike does.
I grew up in Stan Smiths and Gazelles, so I'm late to the Superstar party, but in a way I'm glad. Superstars are obviously worn by kids, but they're certainly not a kid's sneaker. At 35 it's still easy to rock a Superstar and look like an adult - they're simple, but sophisticated. You don't look like a wannabe baller in Superstars, nor do they look, for the most part, overly flashy. It's not a surprise, perhaps, that the most expensive Superstars, the Footpatrols, the Neighborhoods, etc are actually really low key. That to the common person you're just wearing sneakers. But to those in the know, well, your game is tight.
