Detailed Review
When you slip into the adidas Skateboarding Superstar sneakers, you're immediately met with a sense of nostalgia blended with modern flair. The quality of craftsmanship is apparent in every stitch, contributing to both the aesthetic appeal and lasting performance. The leather upper offers a refined look while ensuring it can withstand daily wear, making it a go-to choice for sneaker enthusiasts.
The rubber sole provides adequate traction, ensuring stability whether you're out skating or simply strolling through the city. However, it’s worth noting that while the sneaker has a stylish profile, it may lack some cushioning when compared to more heavily padded athletic shoes. This makes them better suited for casual wear rather than intensive sports activities.
Additionally, the shoes tend to have a narrower fit, which might be an issue for those with broader feet. Nevertheless, the overall versatility of the adidas Skateboarding Superstar shines through, as they can easily complement various outfits—from joggers to chinos—making them a worthy addition to any wardrobe.

My husband has been wearing Stan Smiths for over 25 years! Will not wear anything else. Although these are court shoes, they are very comfortable and he travels with them constantly. Now they are very much in vogue and sometimes hard to find. They are quite cool, indeed! Had to wait for them a bit, as they shipped from UK, but he had his old ones as back up. The quality in incomparable, as I said, his last pair has been around for 8 years.... I was just going to post a picture of "old" eight year olds and brand new ones....but he's gone out wearing the old ones!!! I'm going to order a pair for myself, I just saw my grandniece wearing a pair, so nice. The leather is very soft, they are, of course, extremely durable, my husband is very hard on shoes. I've put them in the washer and they come out spotless. No dryer, ever! Adidas comes through every time. I highly recommend these. Amazon Prime may have them, they were out in December.....
These were great! Fit great, looked great, lasted a while until I destroyed them at a muddy music festival (even then they're still wearable!)I'm not sure what the other reviewers expected as the description states that these are a slight blue. These are made of some kind of very faint reflective material that's only visible under a camera flash. They fit as expected and they're pretty comfortable.Great choice if you want Stan Smiths but don't want to get the same accent green that everyone else is getting.
I ordered these Adidas Originals Men's Stan Smith Adicolor Sneakers for my adult son for Christmas. He had pointed them out weeks before but they were pricey so I put them on my wishlist and, lo and behold, one day the price dropped to around $43.00 and I snagged them. I love when that happens. Anyway, these sneakers look like the description photo. They're old school looking and a deep red color. They're flat and my son says they don't have much arch support but he expected that because that is how these were made originally. He says these are for fashion not sports or running and he is fine with a low arch for just kicking around.The size is a bit small. My son usually takes a 13 or 13.5 in sneakers. We got 14 in these and they fit well but could be just a touch longer for more comfort. They don't hurt my son's feet but a bit more wiggle room would be nice. He thinks they run one half size small. I say if you like to have room for heavier socks or if you have wide feet, go up one size as these are somewhat smaller than many other brands.Sizing aside, they're comfortable and sturdy as well as fairly lightweight. Because these are so big and flat, I told my son that they would make him look like he had Ronald McDonald's feet but they don't. They look fine and proportional to his 6'1" lean body. Although red, they're not super flashy and look good with casual jeans.They appear to be well made with no obvious stitching issues and a good sole with fair traction. They are perforated around the body of the sneaker with a solid toe. They come with matching shoelaces which, of course, you could swap out but my son likes the laces to match. In all, these are good, fun fashion sneakers. They're not made for running or sports but would be fine as walking shoes or maybe low intensity exercise. My son says 4 stars. He would like a bit more of an arch but didn't expect it and said he would love if they were just a touch longer so his toes had a bit more wiggle room. He does stress though that these are not tight or uncomfortable and he would not size up more if he could. I suggest going up a half size unless you wear heavy socks, then go up one size from your usual everyday size in other brands. Watch for price drops! These do seem to change prices pretty often.
Love my Adidas..perfect fit and perfect price and delivery..so happy..these are my favorite Adidas..i only wear this style because they are so comfortable and last a long time..thanks Amazon..ive looked everywhere for these and couldn't find them
Looks good, fits well, and is comfy. Nice work by Adidas
Got them for $54usd!These shoes look super clean!They fit just a little bit loose at the ankle.I order a half size up because this is a narrow shoe, maybe that's why they don't fit as perfect.Materials seem durable, but I wouldn't recommend them for daily use.
Slim clean fit. Perfect for work and going out. Not a ton of arch support so if that’s an issue I’d suggest a small insert. Fits true to size though
