Adidas Superstar II
Adidas, the official outfitter of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, will be releasing many Olympic themed sneakers to commemorate the games. With this Superstar II, the obvious inspiration came from the American Flag. The upper includes colors of the flag, and a graphic of the flag is shown on the back panel. Adidas also stamped the three letter abbreviation “USA” on the side of the sneaker. And, flipped their trefoil logo into the Olympic torch on the tongue, which is a very nice touch.
