The Brand with Three Stripes is ending the year on a super note. After a couple of years dominated by Sambas and other soccer-influenced lifestyle models, followed by an all-out embrace of Anthony Edwards, adidas brought the hype back to where it all started in the second half of 2025, tapping some of the streetwear industry’s biggest new names for a series of collaborative Superstar colorways.
After previewing a tan friends and family colorway, Houston-based fashion brand DIOS (Did It Ourselves) is back with a shock drop of a new collab Superstar XLG, bringing a thick sole to the shell toe classic. Starting with more tan on the shell toe, midsole, laces, and frayed Three Stripes on the side panels, the rest of the colorway is done in premium black leather. DIOS branding is added on the tongue, heel tab, insoles, and on the clear outsole, with a praying hands graphic on the lateral heel to tie it all together.
In addition to DIOS, adidas tapped streetwear brands Hellstar, Sp5der, and Menace to remake the Superstar in their own style. In addition to the surprise drop of the black colorway, DIOS previewed a blue colorway of the Superstar XLG that will drop at the brand’s retail store later this week.
The DIOS x adidas Superstar XLG Black was released today, November 10, 2025 through adidas and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $130. For all the latest adidas collab news, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
