adidas Superstar ADV "Black Spark" IG1705

The Adidas Superstar ADV “Black Spark” IG1705 is an evolution of the iconic Superstar, originally launched in the 1970s as a basketball shoe. This latest iteration has been specifically redesigned to meet the demands of skateboarding. It retains the classic aesthetic of the original while integrating features that enhance durability and performance. The upper is crafted from high-quality leather, chosen for its ability to withstand the frequent scuffs and abrasions associated with skateboarding.

Key modifications include the reinforced shell toe, historically a protective element for basketball players, which now serves to increase the shoe’s longevity against the rigours of skateboarding. Furthermore, the introduction of an additional layer of stitching in areas prone to wear ensures the shoe remains intact and functional through rigorous use. The one-piece tongue design is another significant addition, providing a secure fit that helps stabilise the foot during dynamic skateboarding manoeuvres.

The rubber outsole of the Superstar ADV has been optimised for grip on a variety of surfaces, crucial for skateboarding where traction can impact performance and safety. This adaptation not only respects the legacy of the Superstar but also meets the practical needs of today’s skateboarders. Combining historical elements with modern functionality, the Adidas Superstar ADV “Black Spark” is equipped to handle both the aesthetic and performance requirements of the skateboarding community.
