Hellstar Expands adidas Superstar Collab with a Football Cleat Debut at the NFL Pro Bowl

The NFL Pro Bowl might not have the same cachet as the NBA and MLB All-Star games, but when it comes to exclusive products from sneaker brands, the gridiron’s best ballers still get taken care of. Long shifted from Hawaii to the same city as the Super Bowl, this year’s Pro Bowl took over the Bay Area this past weekend, and inside the locker room, adidas athletes had a very special pair of cleats waiting for them.

The Hellstar x adidas Superstar Cleat first popped up on Instagram thanks to Packers linebacker Micah Parsons, and now adidas has given us a closer look at some official images of the collab cleats. Taking after the Vegas-exclusive white colorway of the Hellstar x adidas Superstar that dropped last fall, the cleat version keeps the pencil-drawn graphics and flame overlays from the lifestyle pair.

Starting with a white leather base, the toecap gets a classic shell toe design before adding a series of pencil-style graphic doodles that look straight out of a middle school notebook, including flames jutting up from the bottom, “coexist” in bubble letters, and lead coloring on the Three Stripes branding. The Hellstar flame motif continues on a raised panel with fiery cut-outs towards the heel, and Hellstar branding is added on the tongue, lime green heel tab, and outsole.

So far, there’s no word on whether the Hellstar x adidas Superstar Cleat will be released to the public or strictly reserved for adidas athletes. To be the first to find out if this pair is getting a retail drop, download the Sole Retriever mobile app for immediate updates.
