About the adidas Superstar Pure "Core Black"
A dark pair in a year of loud ones. The Pure arrived in 2020, when adidas was working through a long programme of Superstar variants for the shoe's fiftieth anniversary, and this one keeps to Core Black leather with Cloud White and Carbon, a grey, filling out the rest.
The landmarks are all present: the moulded rubber shell toe, the serrated Three-Stripes, the leather heel patch and the cupsole with its herringbone tread. Those come from a 1969 basketball shoe that was the first low-top to use an all-leather upper, and they have stayed in place through five decades of reissues. adidas released it July 6, 2020 at $110. Blacked-out Superstars sell for the opposite reason to the white-and-black original: the shape is doing all the work, with none of the contrast that normally announces it.
