So the superstar isn't a classic yet?

No.

But according to this great article it could be a classic soon, maybe as big as the Stan Smith they say. Even famous people are starting to wear them.

I'm gonna burn my supes as a KLF anti establishment protest type thingy. That'll show Adidas (might get an article in the Gaurdian and all).

You and me both, LL.
We should make a fire big enough that they'll see it across the Atlantic, never mind the Channel.

Pure. I'm in. Just need to catch the flying doctor to Uluru (that's Ayres rock, you uneducated fools) and set fire to the fucking shoes. Reckon the world will see them from up there!
I'm off to buy me some Ugg boots!

A Facebook group with "superstar fans" flooded with resellers, the stupidiest questions and whatsoever... Can't we make an (hidden) SSDB Facebook group (with SSDB members only) with Mr.Pure and his banhammer?

What's your problem with the Adidas Superstar Fans facebook group? It's thriving and a great little community of superstar lovers. It's great for newbies to the superstar game and we're all sharing loads of info on new releases. There are rules preventing re-selling etc. as well so not sure what you're referring to there.

Bodega taking and keeping my  $140 for almost 2 weeks before cancelling my order of the BITD Supes as "there's insufficient stock to fulfil the order"  thoroughly gripped my shit this morning.

ps that facebook group is pure jokes.

This, is the problem!
Newbs, with no fucking soul, nor idea, about the Superstar and what it represents to the majority of collectors, getting on a bandwagon because some magazine or website told them it was gonna be THE thing this year.
They find out about shit they have little or no business knowing about, from people who should know better in an effort to be the man, thereby depriving people who actually give a fuck!
Facebook is cold, runny shit.
We deal with enough morons in here.
Putting up with a sea of them in that shit hole, no thanks!

I'm going to just have to flat out disagree with you here. With all due respect, I do not understand the sense of entitlement you seem to think you have here. You're acting like you have some kind of intellectual property rights over the superstar. Just because you've been doing this a long time doesn't mean you deserve to own a pair of trainers more than someone else... People who don't have years of experience, who don't have some kind of unity with the "history and culture" of the superstar are not inferior human beings just because you find their uninformed questions irritating because you're fed up of answering the same questions over and over again. I do get it though, I still hang around on the FB pages for my old car club and when I see new people asking how to change a windscreen wiper you do have to Facepalm and think what a fucking moron. However, everyone has to start somewhere and I don't see how the way someone finds themselves into Superstars or how recently it happened makes a blind bit of difference. Surely this group exists because of a shared interest, yet you are belittling the people that want to share the same interest because you think they deserve it less than you. That's pretty low man. I know this probably constitutes treason to the superstar royalty here but hopefully my opinion is allowed...
