adidas Consortium 10th Anniversary Superstar Pack
In 2005, adidas Originals celebrated 35 years of one of its most iconic silhouettes: the Superstar. As part of the celebrations, a capsule collection of Superstars was created in collaboration with a handful of the world’s most respected footwear retailers and named The Consortium Series.
Ten years on, Consortium has become a mark in its own right, a guarantee of quality in material and construction, a seal of approval from the most important retailers in the sneaker industry. Exploring the archive and more recently employing adidas’s freshest technologies, Consortium has produced some of the brand’s greatest partnerships and collaborations.
The 10th Anniversary series sees adidas Originals invite five of the original Consortium partners to re-approach the Superstar, once again bringing their own unique flavors to an irrepressible footwear icon.
adidas Consortium Superstar x Neighborhood
Neighborhood‘s 2005 Superstar was a predominantly black affair and the 10th Anniversary Consortium Superstar holds to the tradition with distinctive black croc embossed leather and contrasting smooth leather lace-stay and heel tab. Detailing includes Neighborhood’s Skull and Crossed Swords logo on both heels, whilst ‘Customized Project’ text appearing on both heel tabs.
