Kevin Lyons draws monsters. The Brooklyn based illustrator has been putting the same wide-eyed, jagged-toothed characters on clothing, walls and skateboards for years, and adidas handed him a kids range built around Originals silhouettes including the Superstar.
On this junior pair the character sprawls across a Clear Pink textile upper, with Shadow Navy and Cloud White carrying the outlines and the serrated Three-Stripes. The build is the 360, the laceless version of the Superstar made for small feet: a stretch upper you pull on, no eyelets, and the rubber shell toe kept intact so the front of the shoe survives scuffing. A light EVA outsole with deep flex grooves sits below. adidas priced it at $55 and released it March 2, 2022. The Lyons collaboration ran across several adidas categories, from kids apparel to slides, rather than being a one-shoe project.
