Hello everyone! My name is Darrell and I live just north of West Palm Beach, FL in the U.S. I'm really glad to have found a group dedicated to the Adidas Superstar. A proper intro should be the norm for this type of group----glad to see that it is.
So here it goes:
I grew up in Massachusetts and have wanted to fly my whole life. When I was 16, my training took me to Florida, and once I had all my ratings and licenses, I began flight instructing. I spun house music at clubs on the side for extra money and ALWAYS rocked my shelltoes, though I did not have much of a collection at the time. After flight instructing for a few years I flew for a regional airline and in 2006 I got hired flying executives, celebrities and sports stars in private jets. Currently I fly the Citation XL and XLS. Now that I've been with my company for a few years, I'm finally able to grow my superstar collection (I now have 37 pairs)....although it's kinda hard when you're a size 14. I have always loved the Adidas Superstar---ever since I was a kid. The funny thing is that a few years ago I broke my toe and as a result the superstar is the ONLY sneaker I can wear comfortably. Everything happens for a reason I suppose.
So great to see that so many others love the shoe as I do....it is truly a work of art and represents so many things. I know of no other shoe that has crossed through the once tall walls of gender, race, sexual orientation and overall culture while appealing to so many people from so many walks of life. It shows us just how imaginary those walls really are.
In the end, I'd just like say thanks to the person (eBay ID babylatin) that sent me a msg recommending this site --- probably after seeing me bid on some shoes. I think Superstars are pretty friggin sweet, and it's great to see that there's a bunch of kool kats on here that dig 'em like I do! I hope I can contribute here....I'm looking forward to it! All the best to everyone here….especially the creators and moderators!!

Don't deal in things you can live with; deal in those you can't live without.
Slip into something more comfortable
