South Korean fashion label Thug Club brought its bold, urban renegade style to prominence through celebs like A$AP Rocky, but even as American fashion’s obsession with motocross and motorcycle leathers has waned, Thug Club has remained true to its roots. In its latest adidas collab, the Korean fashion mainstay transforms the Superstar into a leather motorcycle boot and a serious moto-ready Club GSG-9 Boot.
The Thug Club x adidas Superstar Boots come in red and black, both with white on the Three Stripes, midsole, and bulbous shell toes carried over from the first Thug Club x adidas Superstar collab. The all-leather upper extends high on the ankle with hiking lace loops on the top half and a massive heel tab on the back to make them a little easier to put on. Metal “TC” logos are affixed to the lateral heel for subtle branding like badges on a bike.

The Club GSG-9 Boot is triple blacked out like a true motorcycle boot should be, with serious heft, leather panels, and thick rubber for serious riding. Designed as a tactical boot, Thug Club reimagined the shoe to protect motorcycle riders, adding as much reinforcement as possible and a colorway that will go with your favorite leather jacket.
The Thug Club x adidas Fall/Winter 2025 collection will be released sometime before the year is up through Thug Club and adidas. The three sneakers pictured here are currently available through Level Shoes overseas, so expect to see a rollout in the coming weeks. Available in men’s sizing, the prices are still TBD.
