If you mention Adidas to sneakerheads in 2025 you'll probably hear gripes about oversaturated Sambas, gawking at Spezials, or fawning discussion of Anthony Edwards - but don't sleep on the Superstar. Shelltoes haven't gone anywhere, and the latest Superstar Vintage Made In Germany pair is premium-made and worth the premium price tag.
Coming soon in a white, blue, and red colorway, the Superstar Vintage Made in Germany comes with a plush white leather upper, no branding on the tongue, two blue stripes with a red stripe in the middle, and a blue heel tab. The classic rubber shell toe and the sole get a worn-looking off-white color to match the laces.
Adidas' Made In Germany label was born with a focus on hand-crafted quality and high-quality materials. With every pair coming out of the company's Herzogenaurach, Germany factory, Adidas has released a handful of specialty Sambas and Spezials under the label, but this year's Superstar Vintage pairs are some of our favorites.
Leading the way was a JJJJound collab pack in February, but classic combos of black leather with white stripes and white leather with black stripes also dropped in 2025. If you're into Adidas, the premium leather and classic colorways have been a must cop and the white, blue, and red pair is no different.
The Adidas Superstar Vintage Made in Germany White, Blue, Red is set to release on August 13, 2025, through adidas, Confirmed, and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men's sizing, retail is $250. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
