"The LA adidas Superstar II doesn't just nod to LA -it embodies it. Its faded black upper is a nod to the sun-worn grit of the city, while cracked leather Three-Stripes mirror the kind of well-loved pieces found in the racks of Melrose vintage shops. Graffiti-style insoles dive headfirst into the city's street culture, and star-printed laces add a West Coast flair. The adidas angel wings logo serves as a subtle tribute to the City of Angels, tying the sneaker's narrative back to the streets that inspired it."
"Other details make the sneaker feel like an instant collectible: a street-sign hangtag that cements its LA roots, a vintage t-shirt-inspired tongue tag that feels straight out of the '90s, and palm tree pins sourced from the adidas archives. Together, they create a shoe that is equal parts fashion piece and cultural time capsule, bridging the Superstar's deep history with LA's current creative renaissance."
"To round out the drop, adidas and Qias are releasing two limited-edition tees that channel LA's music and style history. Featuring rock-inspired graphics and a nod to the city's iconic layered aesthetic, the shirts are designed to be paired with the LA Superstar II, making for a complete head-to-toe fit that captures the vibe of the city."
adidas Originals partnered with sneaker creator Qias Omar and SoCal hub Private Sneakers to produce the LA adidas Superstar II, a Los Angeles–inspired take on the classic Superstar. Design cues include a faded black upper, cracked leather Three-Stripes, graffiti-style insoles, star-printed laces, and an adidas angel wings logo referencing the City of Angels. Collectible accents feature a street-sign hangtag, vintage t-shirt–style tongue tag, and palm tree pins from the adidas archives. Two limited-edition tees with rock-influenced graphics complete coordinated outfits. The release is supported by pop-up experiences that present the drop as a cultural event.
