The adidas Originals Superstar Gets Primed for the Rio Olympics
Reflecting the duality of Rio
In honor of its new store in Rio de Janeiro, located in the city's Ipanema neighborhood, adidas Originals has launched a special edition of its iconic Superstar silhouette. The shoe is the product of a collaboration between the Brazilian 3-Stripe design team, in partnership with a quartet of local creative influencers. The result is a model inspired by the duality of Rio de Janeiro, spanning the beach and the city, the sand and the cobblestones. The predominantly white leather build is finished with a gum rubber sole unit, made with recycled materials. Launching just in time for the Summer Olympics, the kicks are available now exclusively at the adidas Originals Ipanema store.
