An Icon With a Shell Toe: Women’s adidas Superstar
Originally launched in 1969 as the first low-top leather basketball shoe, the adidas Superstar was built to dominate the court. Its most defining feature, the rubber shell toe, offered protection and durability that made it an instant hit with pro players. However, its journey to icon status took off when it was adopted by hip-hop pioneers Run-DMC, who famously wore them laceless. This co-sign catapulted the Superstar into a global symbol of street culture.
