If they're supposed to be skates, where's the round shock absorber thingy from the bottom that most skates usually have? Or maybe they try to be cool not to have it.

I was hoping that those shark thingys were merely a sample and they'd see sense not to release them. Seems like i had more hope than the pope.
Had to laugh at the sales pitch on End Clothing:
One of Adidas' most enduring styles, the Superstar has recently been subject to some great reworkings for the 523 pack, and this trend is set to run through into 2010, with this seasons Tech pack. Taking the famous silhouette the Tech pack comes in a tonal black colourway to showcase the lines of the shoe without over complicating.
..without over complicating. Wow! That killed me.
Would you be good enough to participate in this morning's edification?

Yeah they are pretty similar to 80's but I hope there is that padded insole that skates usually has.

Completely redesigned for this season to mirror the superstar 80’s look but with reduced bulk and a slimmed down design.
The new superstar brings exceptional board feel with abrasion resistant shelltoe durability.
Features a new custom full moulded sock liner and an extra set of laces.
They do look good in the promo

They can't be classed as a Superstar Skate, nothing like the fat MK1's or even a MK2.
They're moving the goalposts again.
I'm all for adidas going up against NoikeSB for a share of the skating $$$ pie but this is just a waste of time.
