hi all, I'm guessing they are from the 2009 "60 years of stripes and soles" lot. but can anyone confirm??

These are nice, I didn't see them back then, or I would have picked them up...?

No idea but I like them.

I only think they're around 3-4 years old or so, but I could be wrong (it does seem right they're from the 60 year anniversary looking at that label though). I think they came out around same time as those Def Jam SS2s. Can't remember what the model was called, it was sort of a modified SS2 because of the extra stripe around the sole (the Def Jams had that too).

They had them in the McArthur Glen outlet when I visited London a few years back. They're pretty decent in the flesh

They're called Superstar PT. This one came in white too.

i just noticed that the "bones" behind the skull are baseball bats, and, the top of the skull looks like the seams on a baseball, and, the "stripes" look similar to the seams on a baseball or the "laces" that hold the fingers together in a baseball glove. hmmm, wonder if it was in relation to some type of record being broken in USA's Major League Baseball? like the homerun record being broken by Mark McGuire or later by Barry Bonds (two cheaters using steriods to tarnish America's pasttime)?? just some thoughts

ok. got curious if they were related to Major League Baseball. found this on some website...

"This baseball inspired update of the classic Superstar from adidas Originals is exclusive to JD and features a black nubuck upper with tonal cross stitch three stripe branding on the side rubberised piping around the outsole, an embossed printed badge on the tongue that marks 60 years of making adidas footwear with the words '60 year tradition of smashing records' and a printed trefoil on the heel piece plus cross stitch detailing on the back."
