Just about to purchase my first Superstars, but first I have some questions.

Hey.

I didn't realise there would be a whole forum dedicated to just one type of shoe! But its ace, ill be sticking round here.

Anyway today im going to purchase my first superstars from eBay.

I just have a few questions first.

How wide are they in comparison to Gazelles and Stan Smith STs. I own both pairs but I rarely wear my Gazelles because they are too thin to go with my baggyish jeans, I always wear my Stan Smiths because they have lots of padding, are wider, and are just more comfortable. I was just wondering how these Superstars would compare.




And it never ocurred to me about fakes on eBay until I came here, so judging by that above picture, are they genuine? I reckon so but someone elses opinion wouldn't hurt.

Thanks in advance.

Get yourself to the intro thread first mate and have a good search through the forum too.

Never seen that style before, doubt they are fake but I'm sure a more learned member of this forum would be better equipped to tell you.

One in a million chance that anybody would bother to fake those.

How about the width of them in comparison to the gazelles, stan smiths. because thats the big thing for me (dont want my baggy jeans covering them and rubbing on the floor), I haven't seen any other Superstars in shops to try them on for size. So im just going with the pictures.

[mr.pure]

You either didn't open your eyes or you only looked in the sport shop in Lower Dingle cos ever high street shop has Superstars in it.
Going up half to one size from your Stans is probably a good bet.

Take a trip to size? JDsports or footlocker in manchester (near arndale centre) !!try b4 you buy!!

[burley25]

Lol ill just clear this up, I wrote that im from Manchester but i live in a Village that is on the very very edge of Manchester so I don't really commute into the city centre that much anymore because im not with my gf that lived there and its hard for me transport wise. However my local town does have a JD so ill go in there today and have a ganje.

Went into JD and tried some on, size 10 fit me perfectly so definately going to purchase these now. Yes, I have been looking at the skates too, im going to start with these superstars for now and then put the skates in my collection later.

[flyingcod]

Haha! I wish!
