[adidas Originals UK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-superstar) works in collaboration with Ninja on a new iteration of the [iconic Superstar shoe model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-adidas-superstar-ii) complete with subtle updates that are true to the streaming expert. The upper is constructed from leather in white as a clean base foundation with a sporty blue rim for some contrast across the shoe's eyestay and the Three Strip graphic.

The inner part of the tongue also features a blue nubuck lining. Additional details include the brand's [signature gold foil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-in-germany-superstar) that make up the "Superstar" branding that is updated to read "Ninja" that can be found on the lateral side of the shoe. There is also the "time in" emblem on the right foot and Ninja's logo that can be seen on the special lace deubres.
