Although adidas is partaking in a new City Series with Bad Bunny, honoring his home country of Puerto Rico through three adidas Gazelle Indoor colorways, the brand has plans to expand on its Superstar City Series. So far, we’ve seen official images of the London and Berlin colorways, each featuring design details and motifs inspired by the respective cities. Adding to the list of European stops for the Superstar is a new Paris rendition.
Paying homage to the cultural hub that is Paris, this Superstar is inspired by shearling jackets worn by ‘90s French rappers. More specifically, the shearling is reserved for the lining of the tumbled leather tongue, while the rest of the sneaker takes on the same black tumbled leather. Of course, the Superstar’s iconic shell toe remains intact, done here in a contrasting cream hue. A nod to Paris’ area code, 75, is found on the added lace dubrae, written in a motocross-style.
