Superstars for Superstars: adidas is Gifting its WNBA Roster an Exclusive 30th Anniversary Shell Toe

The WNBA season is almost here. After a long offseason of major contract shifts and huge roster moves, the W is ringing in its 30th season on Friday, and brands across the sneaker landscape are ready to celebrate the three-decade anniversary.

After getting a look at a pack of WNBA 30th Anniversary pairs from Nike Basketball, adidas is bringing a more intimate pair to the mix, gifting the brand’s WNBA roster exclusive pairs of pearl-covered Superstars with WNBA orange accents. In wedding anniversary gifting tradition, pearls are saved for the 30th year.

Beyond the wedding tradition, the adidas Superstar WNBA 30th Anniversary PE fits in perfectly with the current jewelry store trend sweeping across the sneaker industry. Starting with a white leather base, the PE shell toe is covered in shining pearls and gems across the side panels, with WNBA orange on the Three Stripes, heel tab, and custom printed anniversary insoles.

The adidas Superstar WNBA 30th Anniversary PE won’t be available to the public, but you can cop the entire Nike Basketball WNBA 30th Anniversary Pack on Friday, the same day the W season tips off. To keep up with all the latest WNBA sneaker news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
