Slip into the all new Superstar Slip-On

Back in 1986, Run DMC released the song ‘My Adidas’ – stating their preference for the three stripes and more specifically, the Adidas Superstar. As a result, the Superstar experienced a colossal surge in sales that eventually led to a historic partnership between the two parties, and one that’s led to Run DMC having their own iterations of the sneaker and Adidas apparel. Indeed, with their heavy chains, leather jackets and crisp Superstars on feet, Run DMC crafted one of hip-hop’s early iconic outfits – one that’s timeless and undeniably New York.

Notably, Run DMC always rocked their Superstars without laces. The look was emulated by fans across the globe, and now, the latest version of the Superstar takes the laceless ethos even further. The Superstar Slip-On is self-explanatory: There’s no need to lace or even tie your sneakers. It’s comprised of a plush neoprene upper that secures your foot with two elastic straps that act as seat belts for your feet. It’s a more minimal and sleek take on the sneaker, with the Superstar getting pampered with a little chic makeover for the ladies.

Still, your favourite Adidas signatures are here: The shell toe is still in tact, while the Adidas trefoil logo in stamped towards the heel. Available in classic black and white, these will be perfect for to complete a casual monochrome fit. They’re available for fly girls and smaller-footed bros at Subtype now!
