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.
Footpatrol:
In 2005 London’s Footpatrol created an understated tonal shoe in military green suede and leather. For their 10th Anniversary Consortium Superstar they have kept the one-color approach, this time delivering a shoe in premium terracotta croc embossed leather. The years 2005 and 2015 are stamped into leather heel tabs, whilst Footpatrol branding is embroidered towards the rear of each shoe in cream. Soft leather lining and pig-skin suede Three-Stripes add tonal texture. As usual materials and construction are of the highest quality with Consortium detailing complimenting the lace aglets, suede sockliner and interior tongue label.
