About Adidas
The vision of company founder Adolf Dassler has long become reality, and his corporate philosophy the guiding principle for successor generations. The idea was as simple as it was brilliant. Adi Dassler's aim was to provide every athlete with the best possible equipment. It all began in 1920, when Adi Dassler made his first shoes using the few materials available after the First World War. The Adidas name dates back to 1948, deriving from the first two syllables of Adi Dassler's first and last name. One year later, Adi Dassler registered the Three Stripes as a trademark. After a period spanning almost 70 years, the Dassler Family withdrew from the company in 1989, and the enterprise was transformed into a corporation ("Aktiengesellschaft"). French-born Robert Louis-Dreyfus was Chairman of the Executive Board from April 1993 to March 2001. It was he who initiated Adidas' flotation on the stock market in November 1995. Adidas--a name that stands for competence in all sectors of sport around the globe. Today, the Adidas product range extends from shoes, apparel and accessories for basketball, soccer, fitness and training to adventure, trail and golf.

Best Shoe Ever

I originally got my first pair of this shoe at Sears like 5 years ago, and they rocked, lightweight, easy to clean, comfy. But then I moved overseas to my next assignment, and I forgot them at my parents house! And guess what my Dad gave them to Salvation Army, so now here I am reunited with the best shoes in the world I think. Thank god I found them on Amazon! Someone out there maybe still got a free pair of great shoes for free :-P

Durable and Comfortable

Bought several pairs of this shoes and I have always been very satisfied. They are comfortable,durable, and well-priced.

Really light and very comfortable!

These shoes are great in that they are not only very comfortable and light but stylish too. They fit true to size.

A great compromise shoe

I bought this shoe knowing the reputation of its close cousin, the Superstar II. So I went around and tried out both models, and though I knew that the originals looked a lot better, the Superstar 2G is altogether a more comfortable shoe. So there's the distinction! Superstar II for the look, 2G for practicality.

The rubber shell toe is definitely an interesting feature, since I've never worn anything like it before. The problem is it scuffs easily, think pencil eraser that doesn't slough off. The great thing is though that the shell on the 2G is streamlined; get out a toothbrush/toothpaste and it's clean. You'll have to do this every two weeks or so though to keep it looking decent. OTOH the Superstar II's shell has a deeper crosshatch pattern, so I'm not sure if it would be as easy to clean.

The silver stripes on the side are actually silvered threads that are woven perpendicular to the overall axis of the stripes. Occasionally things can get stuck, and on my particular pair the stripes CREASE when I walk! Probably not very noticeable but anyway you might want to know.

Weightwise this shoe is tremendously LIGHT. Also, since the tongue is hard and thick, you could easily walk around with the laces untied and tucked. It might feel tight at first up top but just keep the laces loose until the shoe gives.

Overall I've never been as happy about any pair for a long time! I love these shoes. If you have to pick a more fashionable shoe though, you might want to take a harder look at the classics.
