What They Says:A great compromise shoe By dslamngu I bought this shoe knowing the reputation of its close cousin, the Superstar II. So I went around and tried out both models, and though I knew that the originals looked a lot better, the Superstar 2G is altogether a more comfortable shoe. So there's the distinction! Superstar II for the look, 2G for practicality.
The rubber shell toe is definitely an interesting feature, since I've never worn anything like it before. The problem is it scuffs easily, think pencil eraser that doesn't slough off. The great thing is though that the shell on the 2G is streamlined; get out a toothbrush/toothpaste and it's clean. You'll have to do this every two weeks or so though to keep it looking decent. OTOH the Superstar II's shell has a deeper crosshatch pattern, so I'm not sure if it would be as easy to clean.
The silver stripes on the side are actually silvered threads that are woven perpendicular to the overall axis of the stripes. Occasionally things can get stuck, and on my particular pair the stripes CREASE when I walk! Probably not very noticeable but anyway you might want to know.
Weightwise this shoe is tremendously LIGHT. Also, since the tongue is hard and thick, you could easily walk around with the laces untied and tucked. It might feel tight at first up top but just keep the laces loose until the shoe gives.
Overall I've never been as happy about any pair for a long time! I love these shoes. If you have to pick a more fashionable shoe though, you might want to take a harder look at the classics.
Durable and Comfortable By A.M. Bought several pairs of this shoes and I have always been very satisfied. They are comfortable,durable, and well-priced.
Adidas has discontinued this shoe - Fire the person who made that decision! By RR I have worn the Adidas Supertar 2G shoe for working-out and walking (never for playing Basketball) for over 20 years. When this pair wears out, I'll be hard pressed to find a suitable replacement. Excellent form, fit and function. Too bad it has been discontinued!
