Hello Everyone,

just a short introduction of myself. I'm from germany and I began collecting shoes about 2 or 3 years ago. In the first time I was more interested in goodyear welted shoes until I decided to put more sneakers into my collection of shoes. So I bought a few pairs from adidas and k-swiss. From adidas it has been a pair stan smith's and a pair of superstars. Those superstars have been very comfortable to me and that's why I started to buy more of them. At the moment I own a white pair with green stripes, a white pair with light blue stripes, a black pair with grey stripes and white shell toes, a dark grey pair with dark grey stripes and white shell toes, the 35th underworld edition (I bought them on ebay and think they are genuine -> no heel tags, tightly packed laces, different numbers on both shoes) and a white pair with black stripes (which could be a fake, I don't know -> they're from 2000 and have heel tags and metal eyelets, so I'm not sure about it). By searching the net for more infos on superstars I found this forum which helped me (besides spotfakeadidas.com) to identify a (maybe) fake pair of Ian Brown's on ebay. And I decided not to buy them. At the moment I'm trying to find a genuine pair of the 523 Pochoir superstar (uk size 6.5 to 7.5) because of the imo nice grey and blue color combination that perfectly matches one of may jackets.

Okay, that's it for the introduction. Hopefully I'll have a great time here and can get some help from all of you. Thanks.

Hi Fritze

You should be ok with the 2000 metals, I have yet to come across a fake pair, underworlds sound legit too
Pochoirs were released about this time last year so you have a good chance of picking up a pair, they are 80's style so you may be able to go half a size down.

How old are you? What do you do for a living?

Hello Lurkzilla,

thanks for the quick reply and the tips. I've seen your collection of shoes. Very impressive to me.

I'm 35 and I am a phd-student at the moment. I hope to finish next year.

Greetz.

Hey pokey27,

from the 35ths I mostly like the Project Playground, the Upper Playground, the Missy Elliot, the New York and the Run DMC Superstars. But at the moment I don't have any specific other model in my mind, besides the 523 Pochoir (I think I need it in a UK 6.5 due to the post of Lurkzilla).

Hi Robert147. I don't know how good your german is. Aber das gewählte Shell-Logo hat Stil (the shell-logo is classy).

why is it 523 Pochoir and not just Pochoir whats the 523 bit?

Hi Fritze and welcome.
Hope you like it here.

[Fritze]

Hi Old Gregg,

I don't really know. It comes from the 523 City Artist Series. I think it's five artists that collaborated with adidas (5-to-3). So, adidas released five different shoes (superstar, stan smith, samba etc.) that were designed by those artists.
