Throughout 2022, slip-on silhouettes have become increasingly popular in footwear. In particular, Yeezy Slide and Adidas Foam Runner have made a significant impact in setting the trend for this style of shoe. 

It is to be noted that they are versatile and stylish, making them a go-to choice for many fashionistas.

The Adidas adiFOM Superstar offers a unique blend of two classic silhouettes into one comfortable slip-on construction. The shoe is molded in the combination of the iconic Crocs Pollex Clog, designed by Salehe Bembury, and Jordan Brand’s own take on the clog design.

Design

Adidas’ AdiFOM Superstar is the highly anticipated successor to the adiFOM Q. This revolutionary lace-up foam shoe made its debut in September 2022. 

The silhouette is a throwback to the 1970s classic design, featuring jet-black 3-Stripes along the midfoot, a blacked-out heel tab, and the iconic trefoil insignia. The Off-White tint from the upper provides an eye-catching two-tone look that offsets the dark accents of the sneaker.

In addition to this aesthetic appeal, perforations are lined along the medial side for enhanced breathability, delivering comfort and convenience with every step. The slip-on is available in two distinctive colorways – black with white stripes and white with black stripes. 

Construction

The upper is crafted with a ridged foam partially composed of sugarcane, a sustainable textile.

The adiFOM Superstar has adopted a unique construction compared to its adiFOM Q counterpart. The shoes ditch the lacing system and take on a ridged one-piece foam ensemble.

On December 26th, the black version of adiFOM Superstar was released in Singapore. Priced at $109, the shoe is sold out in most sizes and is available for purchase on the official website of Adidas. There has yet to be an official release date for these iconic slip-on in North America.

While the official release date is yet to be announced, fashionistas eagerly await the release of the iconic Adidas adiFOM Superstar. With its modern and classy design blend, this shoe is sure to be a hit among slip-on lovers everywhere!​
