Velvet-Stripped Sneakers

Adidas' Superstar Sneaker Has Undergone a Velvet Makeover

Adidas Originals have released a luxe and minimal iteration of its popular Superstar sneaker, through infusing the classic silhouette with a slight pop of color, that'll enhance any outfit.

The shoe's all-white leather upper remains the same, offering the wearer the same durability and comfort that's expected from these popular sneakers. The shoe's difference lies within its subtle detailing, which features a red velvet iteration of the brand's three stripes that adorns the side of the shoe. In addition, the shoe's feature a branded velvet heel and a matching red logo on the sneaker's tongue.

The redesign maintained the shoe's instantly recognizable silhouette, while upgrading the sneaker with velvet detailing, offering the wearer an original footwear staple.
