Removing the heel counter from a basketball shoe is a genuinely odd decision, and that is exactly what this is. The Slip-On Backless Mule keeps the front half of the Superstar, including the white leather upper, the black serrated leather Three-Stripes and the moulded rubber shell toe, then stops the shoe behind the arch and leaves the heel open.
What remains is a mule that reads as a Superstar from the front and as something else entirely from behind. There are still laces across the instep, so the fit is adjustable even though the shoe cannot be laced tight against a heel that is not there. It was released May 2, 2020 at $70, one of the more extreme entries in the run of reworks adidas produced for the model's fiftieth year.
