Adidas Superstan - Fail or are they hot?
I just discovered that Adidas has released a mixture of Superstars and Stan Smith sneakers. Superstan.
I very much like Superstars and Stan Smiths have their charm too, but mixing them up is not my thing, they look like they run out of parts during the production.
What do you think?

Looks like it.

They seem 80% Superstars, 10% Stan. Perhaps Adidas can have economies of scale by merging the styles - they look so similar anyway.

I have a pair of the whites. I did like them better in theory than what I did once I had them, but I don’t think they’re a fail.

Mh. A mixup of the "clean" Stan Smith (that didn't even get stripes!) and the more massive Superstars, that doesn't attract me. I never liked the holes on the Stans anyway (looking too close to the cheap fashion-brand sneakers), and the shelltoe now makes them unmixable for more serious clothing.
Sure, the Stans get beaten up on the front too easily, but have the better feel with the artificial leather inside that doesn't wear too fast - so a mix with the Stars, that have their deficite on the back while being perfectly longlasting up front, should create a very durable sneaker... it just doesn't look right, at least at the moment.
Let's wait if it catches on
(If they had put some stripes on the side, and if it was only as relief or by colored seams, then that would be a different thing!)

In person they are great....awesome leather smell compared to regular SS and have a great chunky look.

I don't like them! Well, I have to say that generally speaking, I don't like sneakers that have a shell on the toe (Superstars, Converse, etc...).
