The original version of the adidas basketball shoe was the adidas Supergrip in the mid-1960s. With a full leather upper, herringbone outsole, and supportive Three-Stripes on the side, these revolutionary basketball shoes prevented injuries by holding the foot in place during abrupt side-steps and stop-and-go movements. They soon became a favorite among ballers of all ages. When adidas perfected the design in 1969 and released the Superstar, they struck gold. This iconic shoe revolutionized the game with its durable construction, unmatched support, and protective toe-cap.
Fast forward 50 years, the adidas Superstar is a household name. Loved by hip hop artists, fashion moguls, and kids and adults alike, the instantly-recognizable shell toe-cap, Superstar box logo, and stripes are as iconic as they are versatile. These shoes may have roots on the court, but they were elevated to street-style icons decades ago. We have an adidas Superstar shoe for every age from infants to toddlers and grade school kids.
Cult Classic

The soft mesh material with a flexible toe-cap is so comfortable that your little one can go from nap time to playtime and back. The easy on and off strap closure makes changing baby a breeze.
