adidas has unveiled a new iteration of the iconic Superstar sneaker, this time paying homage to the vibrant culture of Tokyo. The adidas Superstar “Tokyo Sukajan” is a fusion of classic sneaker design and traditional Japanese souvenir jackets known as “Sukajan”.
The sneaker features a luxurious satin upper with intricate embroidery depicting a majestic tiger on one shoe and a fearsome dragon on the other. These mythical creatures symbolize strength, power and good fortune in Japanese culture. The design is further enhanced with premium leather three stripes and a leather heel tab for a touch of sophistication.
The name “Tokyo” is proudly displayed on the tongue and hang tag, underscoring the sneaker’s connection to the city. The vintage-inspired sail sole and classic shell toe pay tribute to the Superstar’s heritage, while the contrast red stitching and gum rubber outsole add a modern twist.
Although an official release date has yet to be announced, the adidas Superstar “Tokyo Sukajan” is expected to drop soon.
