Adidas Originals Men's Core White/Core Black/Core White Superstar II Sneakers

The Superstar debuted in 1969 as one of the first low-top basketball shoes built entirely in leather, anchored by the rubber shell toe that gave the silhouette its distinct shape on court. This men’s Superstar II keeps the original white-and-black blocking intact — smooth Core White leather, Core Black serrated 3-Stripes, and gold foil branding along the side panel. The II version leans into the bulkier proportions and padded construction associated with early-2000s Superstars rather than the slimmer retro pairs that followed.

The upper uses leather with stitched overlays through the eyestay and heel tab for added structure. A padded tongue and collar create a fuller fit around the ankle, while the rubber cupsole keeps the herringbone traction pattern that traces back to the shoe’s basketball roots. The shell toe remains the focal point — textured rubber against clean white leather with minimal interruption across the forefoot.

Looks especially natural with loose denim, nylon warm-up pants, or straight-leg workwear trousers. The black-and-white colorway stays close to the original team-style court versions that carried the Superstar beyond basketball without changing much of the formula.
