adidas D Rose 5 Boost ‘Superstar’

The three stripes is celebrating the 45th anniversary of their iconic Superstar sneaker and have combined the famous shell toe to make the adidas D Rose 5 Boost ‘Superstar’.

The shell toes were made famous by Run DMC, who made the silhouette one of the most popular in the ’90s. The lace medallion that we’ve seen on special edition Run DMC adidas sneakers is also on this sneaker. A mesh upper gives the D Rose 5 a different look, and the trefoil logo on the tongue really brings back that throwback look.

The adidas D Rose 5 Boost ‘Superstar’ will hit retailers and adidas.com on February 12th. Let us know your thoughts on this unique mash-up in the comments below.

  1. I think this was lowkey supposed to be the all-star, but since Derrick didn’t get enough votes..well, y’know.

      1. True, totally forgot about that. But yea, same color scheme as the Lillards and J Wall. Perfect theme for a “New York” all star game.

        1. He won’t get it, he is easily my favorite player but he is just now getting back to 100% so I don’t think he gets in.

  2. well its official the drose 5 is my favorite basketball silhouette this year. i really want these especially if they do a black version

  3. Im loving it, the Rose’s with the pull tab were both fantastic. I had no issues with those. The Black Ice, felt very good as well, just really like the overall feel on the one’s he wound up actually wearing. Alternate home and away. If this shoe follows that I certainly will be getting it on 2-12 😉

  4. Creative, but I’m still looking for a CARBON FIBER, FULL-LENGTH HERRINGBONE TRACTION, PRIMEKNIT UPPER, ALL-In for $100 dollars. adiMackJ

  5. Adidas, please! If you are really celebrating 45 anniversary of Superstar, make a big return of Superstar! Please don’t just glue the shell toe on a random shoe.

    It is like a slut keeps using the same condom on every man’s penis for sex and says: “I do it because I love the man who first used it. And I am using this condom on more men to celebrate our anniversary.”
