The adidas Superstar is one of the recognizable silhouettes, with an age of over half a century—yet the design team at the Three Stripes seems to be far from exhausted of ideas to further elevate the shell-toe style. For an upcoming arrangement, the Superstar opts for pastel accents and channels a “shadowed” trefoil embroidery.

As usual, the pair flaunts a white smooth leather base and sees the toe and sole unit composed of matching white rubber. The signature side stripes and heel tab are colored in a pastel “Purple Tint” hue. Metallic gold further animates the design as it adds a glistening finish to branded elements on the tongue, heel tab, and lateral side. The most defining feature would be the embroidered trefoil patches applied to the hindfoot of the lateral side. These patches exhibit shades of pink and purple for a gradient effect while their overlapping positions create a shadowed look—a stylization of the trefoil logo that has appeared on both adidas apparel and footwear. A herringbone-tread outsole boosts the traction factor to complete the women’s exclusive.

Check out official images of the Superstar below, which will arrive at adidas.com on July 1 at a price of $85.
