# Reimagined Sneaker Collabs The LA Superstar II Honors Los Angeles’ Vintage and Streetwear Culture By Georgia Wray Norsten | Published 2025-09-30 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-adidas-superstar-ii References: [adidas](https://www.adidas.ca/en) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/qiasomar/?hl=en)  The '[LA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-jer-z-boy) SUPERSTAR II' has officially been unveiled by [adidas Originals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lathemed-superstar-ii) in collaboration with sneaker creator Qias Omar and iconic SoCal retailer Private Sneakers. This limited-edition sneaker reimagines the classic Superstar silhouette through the lens of Los Angeles’ vintage and streetwear culture, cementing its legacy as both a fashion staple and a cultural icon. Every detail of the LA SUPERSTAR II pays homage to the city: a faded black upper with cracked leather Three-Stripes mirrors LA’s lived-in aesthetic, graffiti insoles reflect its streetwear DNA, while street-sign hangtags, palm tree pins, and star-printed laces tie the design to its roots. Complementary tees with rock-inspired graphics further anchor the release in LA’s layered style and music history. By launching the LA SUPERSTAR II, adidas Originals reinforces the Superstar’s role as a timeless cultural symbol while deepening ties to Los Angeles’ influential fashion and sneaker scene. Collaborating with Qias Omar and hosting immersive pop-ups with Private Sneakers and Shiekh not only drives hype but also strengthens [adidas’](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraboost-5-x-hermanos-koumori) community-first approach.
