I am brand new to this community. I would like to join in some of the discussions from time to time. I didn't really think I had a problem with my shoe addiction until quite lately. I purchased a pair of the Adidas 35th Anniversary Top Secret #35. I now admit I have a problem. I have about 20 pairs of adidas brand new, in the box and another 10 that I wear.
I joined here so that I would cut down on my trolling for information about these beautiful shoes that I collect. I figure that there is a wealth of knowledge here that could be tapped and I might be able to help someone out at some point too...
For those of you who don't recognize the name I am using, please check it out through google or wikipedia. I was quite shocked to find that the name was still available.
Anyone that would like to contact me in the future can do so through my personal email: jrnookiemonster@aol.com or on here, as I am sure to frequent this forum for years to come.
If anyone would like to help me out in the verification of my #35 Top Secrets as authentic or would like help verifying other shoes as authentic, I'd be glad to help, as I know many shoes out there are fakes, knock offs or as the peddler would refer to them, "replicas."
Thank you,
Jay Roveda

Erm.. I think the reason no one has used the name is that we have a bit of respect?
Welcome tho'.
Hope you wear your 20 pairs that you have boxed.. bit of a waste otherwise don't you think..

Much respect Streak. The name was chosen out of respect. I figured that if I must have the Holy Grail of adidas shoes, I should have an appropriate name to represent. Like I said, Much Respect...
The 20 I still have in the boxes have not been worn yet. A couple pairs are duplicates, so that when the ones I wear are ruined, I have another set to replace them. Some of the others are collectors shoes or shoes that I am waiting for the matching apparel to arrive before I sport them.
Again, I didn't mean any offense.
I will post some pics of my collection on here when I get some time.
Thanks for reading!

Welcome Jay.
I think we've got about 10 members with the 35th shoe, so you're far from unique on that front.

Wow! 10? This is great! I'd like to start a discussion with them. I am sure there is a lot more I could learn about these shoes...
Thank you for having me here...

Show us the money!!! Lets see the rest of them then... with respect anybody can have a pic of the Top Secrets.
It's not all about how rare they, are as you'll find out if you stick around.
Welcome by the way.
Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in while you could miss it.

This is what I got down here in San Diego. The rest of my collection is up in the Bay Area at my other pad. Not bad though...
This is just the shoes part of my collection and doesn't include any of my adidas tracksuits... I collect those too.

6 Superstars in that picture ?

Why yes, but it would be seven if you include the #35 to the right. The stack of black boxes are all of my running shoes. I use to buy new balance for running but my adidas addiction spilled into my exercise routine. Now all my workout gear and running shoes are adidas... Some of the others are:
Samoa Trefoil X. I really like the Samoa's in grey with the blue trefoil.
Black and Red Adi Racer Plus Low, these are just bad ass.
A pair of Nastase, I had to try them out. I don't really like them that much.
And a brand new pair of Supermods. I'd consider those superstars though. They should have named them Super Modified Superstars, but I guess that's kinda what they did by naming them Supermods.
This would make 8 if you counted my way
