Adidas Superstar 'Core Black Patent' Glossy Black Patent Leather Upper, White 3-Stripes, Black Shell Toe, Black Flat Laces, White Heel Branding & Black Cupsole Midsole High-Gloss Luxe Retro Basketball Lifestyle Sneakers

Adidas Superstar 'Core Black Patent'

The world’s most iconic basketball sneaker, reimagined in its most glamorous form — the Adidas Superstar in 'Core Black Patent' swaps the classic smooth leather for a high-gloss, mirror-finish patent leather that transforms every familiar Superstar detail into something entirely more dramatic. The shell toe, the side panels, the toe box, the heel — every element of the black upper is rendered in the same deep, lustrous patent leather that catches and reflects light with every step. Against this high-shine black canvas, the white 3-Stripes and white heel branding pop with a sharpness and clarity that the standard Superstar can never quite match. The result is a Superstar that has always existed in the overlap between sport and fashion, but now steps fully into luxury territory — dressed up, glossy, and impossible to ignore.

• Colorway: Core Black / Cloud White / Black (Patent)
• Silhouette: Adidas Superstar — the legendary low-top basketball sneaker first released in 1969, one of the most iconic and best-selling adidas models of all time; this patent leather edition elevates the timeless Superstar silhouette into a high-fashion, high-gloss luxury object, retaining every heritage design element of the classic while replacing the standard smooth leather with a mirror-finish patent leather construction that makes the shoe dramatically more eye-catching and occasion-ready
• Upper: Core black patent leather upper — a deep, mirror-finish gloss patent leather that covers the entire upper in a high-shine, reflective black surface; the patent leather gives the classic Superstar silhouette a dramatically elevated, fashion-forward character that transitions from streetwear to evening, from casual to dressed-up; white leather 3-Stripes on the black patent leather side panel — the iconic adidas heritage stripe rendered in crisp white leather against the glossy black, delivering maximum high-contrast definition with a luxury material finish; black patent leather shell toe — the signature Superstar toe cap rendered in the same glossy black patent leather as the upper, creating a seamless, unified all-black-gloss silhouette from toe to heel; black flat laces for a clean, tonal all-black lacing finish
• Signature Details: White heel branding panel — a clean white leather panel at the rear heel counter featuring the black adidas Trefoil logo and "adidas" wordmark in high-contrast white-on-black / black-on-white — a crisp, premium branding detail visible from behind that completes the black-and-white contrast story of this colorway; perforated patent leather toe box panels for breathability with a premium finish
• Branding: White adidas Trefoil tongue label; white adidas Trefoil and wordmark on the white heel counter panel; adidas Originals branding on the insole; white "SUPERSTAR" lettering on the side panel; white 3-Stripes branding throughout
• Lacing: Black flat laces — tonal all-black for a fully unified black upper finish
• Midsole: Black rubber cupsole midsole — the classic low-profile Superstar court sole rendered in black, completing the dramatic all-black lower half of the shoe and giving the white 3-Stripes even greater visual impact from the side
• Outsole: Black rubber outsole with the classic Superstar herringbone court traction pattern — the all-black outsole completes the black-base, black-sole construction, creating a seamless dark foundation that makes the white 3-Stripes the sole point of contrast from the side profile

Available in a full range of US and EU sizes. A core black patent leather Superstar with white leather 3-Stripes, black patent shell toe, black flat laces, white heel branding panel and black cupsole midsole and outsole — the most glamorous and fashion-forward Superstar ever made, for fans of high-gloss patent leather, bold black-and-white contrasts, luxury material upgrades on heritage silhouettes, and the timeless basketball icon in its most dramatically dressed-up form.
