Rainbow decals do the talking here. Over a Cloud White synthetic upper, a run of multi-coloured graphics breaks up the panels, while the blues in the spec sheet are listed as Pulse Blue and Pantone. The serrated Three-Stripes and the rubber shell toe are untouched, which is what keeps the shoe readable as a Superstar at a glance.
Big kid sizing means a full lace closure and a grade school last rather than the slip-on kids build adidas sells alongside it. Underfoot is the usual rubber cupsole with a herringbone tread, a pattern the model has carried since it was a basketball shoe. adidas listed it at $85 with a November 25, 2022 release, putting it in the holiday run of kids colourways rather than in any collaboration series.
