adidas Cleans Up the Iconic Superstar

Losing the lines on the Shelltoes.

The adidas Superstar is barely recognizable in this "Clean" take on the model.

The shoe drops the lines off the sides, and instead has a smooth leather upper. It also brings the some gold "adidas Superstar" branding towards the heel. The result is a sneaker that almost feels referential to Common Projects' various white, low sneakers–which is ironic as those are often understood as homages to stuff like the adidas Stan Smith.

The adidas Superstar Clean style is available now via adidas Originals.
