How does the Superstar compare with the Stan Smith?

The Superstar has a rubber shell toe, a thicker cupsole and more padding, so it feels sturdier and heavier. The Stan Smith is slimmer, lighter and less structured.

Do adidas Superstars run true to size?

Most wearers take their usual size, but the fit is on the narrow side. If you have wide feet, try the wide-width version or go up half a size.

Are they good for wide feet?

A wide-width option is offered, which helps. Standard-width pairs feel snug for some wide-footed wearers.

How long do they take to break in?

Expect a stiff first week or two. The leather upper and cupsole soften with regular wear.

Can you wear them for basketball?

They were originally basketball shoes, but the modern version is a casual sneaker with a flat rubber sole. It lacks the cushioning and support of today's court shoes.

What is the upper made of?

The upper is leather or imitation leather depending on the colorway, with a textile lining and insole and a rubber outsole.

About the adidas Superstars

The adidas Superstar is a low-top leather sneaker with a rubber shell toe, first made as a basketball shoe in 1969 and now a streetwear staple. It has a leather or synthetic leather upper, textile lining, lace-up closure and a flat rubber cupsole. The shell toe and three-stripe side branding make it instantly recognizable, and it comes in men's, women's and unisex fits, including wide widths. It suits people who want a durable, structured sneaker for everyday wear; rivals like the Stan Smith are sleeker and lighter, while the Superstar feels sturdier and more padded. Owners rate it highly, praising build and looks, though some find it stiff at first and narrow for wide feet.
