An ode to hoops, hip-hop, and NYC, the adidas Superstar lives up to its name. Created in the 1970s for basketball players, this shoe has transcended the court and caught the attention of artists, fashion lovers, and skaters. The adidas Superstar is an excellent example of what happens when you create from a place of authenticity and openness. A shoe for any occasion, wear your Superstars to a concert, at the skate park, or on a stroll around the city. Check out our Superstar size guide below so you can find your fit.
Are Superstars True to Size?
Yes, adidas Superstars run true to size no matter the style.
How Does the Superstar Fit?
From the 3-Stripes classic sneaker to limited-edition platforms, high tops, slides and more, adidas Superstars are designed to fit you in your usual shoe size, so no need to size up or down. Once you’ve found the size that fits your feet, all that’s left is to find the pair that fits your unique style.
How to Find Your Shoe Size
Available in US whole and half sizes for adults and kids, adidas Superstars fit true to size. To find the right size for you, measure your feet according to our size guide.
If your measurements are between sizes, choose the bigger size. If your feet are wide or you want a little extra room in your shoe, you might prefer a half size larger than your usual size. With their leather uppers and grippy soles, Superstars can sometimes feel a bit snug right out of the box.
The Superstar II
The OG in the Superstar universe has returned, equally iconic yet tastefully improved. Updated logo foiling adds subtle flair to this established silhouette, enhancing the look without disturbing the legacy. A new and improved take on the beloved shell-toe that still references its timeless design and city streets vibes, the Superstar II is a natural evolution of the sneaker that started a movement.
The Feel: The smooth leather upper gets its signature look with the instantly recognizable shell toe, while the padded tongue and collar provide comfort for all-day wear. Complete with a textured outsole for next level grip, the Superstar II was made to protect your feet while stepping up your shoe game.
The Fit: While this shoe fits true to size, you may want to go up a half size if you have wide feet or don’t enjoy a snug fit. The Superstar II may feel snug when you first try them on, but like any shoe, they will settle in and loosen up with wear. The Superstar II features the addition of improved cushioning throughout, which will provide lasting comfort but may contribute to a tighter fit when initially trying on the shoe. Go with your regular shoe size for the most accurate fit, but those with wider feet or who simply like more space in their shoes, size half a size up.
