That doesn’t mean that the 80s icon hasn’t been revamped itself, as adidas Originals is ushering in the New Year with two premium “Metallic Toe” takes on the Superstar’s legendary shelltoe construction.The adidas Superstar Gold Toe and adidas Superstar Silver Toe takes the precious metal route to task while each colorway features smooth white or black leather uppers for a more traditional juxtaposition. Even the tongue branding featuring the trefoil logo is revamped with metallic prints while the side panel ‘Superstar’ wordmark gets a matching gold or silver finish. What do you think of the look?Check out more detailed shots of the adidas Superstar Gold Toe & Silver Toe options below and know that this women’s exclusive will be available come January 2017 at select shops.
