    thanks for the review ben,
    totally agree about the toecap turning up and the tongue being so thin makes the shoe look incredibly studpid when worn. it also fits kinda weird due to that. still haven't decided if i keep my pair. they have been sitting in a box for two months now after i wore them twice. i tried to bump up the tongue with an old padded tongue to give the shoe more structure, but it still doesn't feel right. i wonder who weartested these at adidas. the front and lace section particularly basically all crimps and crumples in all the most unappealing ways that regular superstars don't despite a similar panelcut. i still think the look down factor and ill fit kill them for me, even though i agree that the out- and insole are pretty comfortable.

      100% agree. The only redeeming factor is they still look great on film.

      I have a bit of buyer's remorse buying the pair. Given that I have wide and flat Fred Flintstone feet, the shell toe just didn't feel comfortable when I put them on. Lack of foot maneuverability. Just like you, they've been sitting in the box since I last tried them on. I bought a couple pairs of adidas Tyshawn's (suede) and they seem to be the perfect fit for my feet, though I haven't skated them yet. I'm lucky to have an extra pair of Suciu ADV (v1's) and they are absolute tanks, and I just throw the nike lunarlon insole on them. The board feel is definitely a compromise but it's not that big of an issue.

      I put mine in the microwave for a minute, then took the paper that was stuffed in the shoes when I bought them and pressed all the paper firmly into the inside of the shell toe so it reshaped it. Problem solved.

    I was HEAVILY into shell toes in the 90s, loved them. When I started skating again I was in vulcs and while they hurt my feet I can’t seem to ride cupsole anymore because I feel like the board shifts more under my feet. I slammed just ollieing a hip in a pair of Es Accel OGs and am just sticking with vans and lakais now, as much as I want a pair of superstars.

    Dude Ben, great to see you!! Feels like ages since I would watch these skate vids daily and fantasize about spring coming and progressing at skating 🔥
    Now spring is here, and I'm not skating 🤷🏾‍♂️
    Not motivated to skate alone... I'm 42 it hurts to fail... I think I might be throwing in the towel. I got a one-wheel hoverboard and have put over three hundred miles in three weeks. I'm addicted. I highly recommend if you're on the fence. They are a blast to ride, take a beating, and can almost replace a car in ways 👌🏽.
    I'll always appreciate all support skateboarding... I just don't think pushing wood is for this bag of bones anymore ✌🏽

    Shoes and trucks are the two most important components to a skateboarder. I seem to be able to flip 95% of my tricks with most board sizes and concaves, since I grew up on a 7.6. But sometimes when I switch shoes I look silly trying tricks that are usually lock for me. I like to skate different shoes on different days and cycle 2-3 at a time. I definitely know what you're saying about how changing shoes can change the deck.

    As a beginner (at the age of 35) who started with your typical shoes (vans oldskool, janoskis) the part from 8:45 helped me so much. I got them and was so confused about why I bail all the time doing tricks I thought I had on lock. I was about to give them away, but now I'm excited to break them in and see if I might be a cupsole guy.
    Thanks Ben.

    I had the opposite happen. My Vans Sk8-hi Pros were starting to lose life, so I changed shoes. Cupsole shoes and that completely changed my flick in a positive way. Also feels more secure and safe in being more stiff and such. I think I will stick with true cupsole shoes for now, as it's a benefit for a beginner still learning the basic tricks.

    I have the Superstar ADV Vulc with the "grippy" insoles which I made a video about on my channel. The insoles are grippy and they do grab your socks when you put them on but I get over that by loosening the laces right off when I put them on and actually once I do have them on the grip is great. The insoles are the best thing about the shoes they are amazing for heel impact and feel better than footprint insoles to me.
    And you are right they do last really well. I bought them for the toe protection when kneesliding from bails on transition and they are awesome for that, I highly recommend them.

Nice nollie front crook and was that pressure flip I saw? I still can’t get past my love of old huge shoes haha foot armour I call them. Man the grooves on those trucks are epic haha gotta be near the axle soon. My boards came the other day I’m gonna put a quick thank you post on the old lady’s Instagram soon. Can’t skate them yet cause it snowed here today!!! Wtf!! Anyway great review I have been seeing adidas around a lot they look great

    the vulc version had great durability on the sole too. i used to swap out the insole & they had great boardfeel but i had a hard time finding a compatible insole because the sole was only a few millimeters thick. i dont know how they made the rubber so grippy & durable. best rubber formula ive tried. but then i decided to support vans over adidas. i wish vans would steal their rubbber formula hahaha. i still have a pair of the DGK superstars... the gold stripes are so sick

    I never skated in these in the 90s because of the toe cap but I always loved how they looked. I wonder if the rubber they use for the sole in these is the same as the Adidas City Cup shoes. The City Cups remind me of the Koston 1s because of the thickness of the heal and toe but the thinness of the mid section/arch area. Seem, like a decent balance between a cup sole and a vulcanized shoe.

    Hi Ben i saw the ( Globe Encore 2 in Black ) today they look a wee bit like the superstar with side stripes and look good on people footage. But look a little bit old school bulky but not so bulky as well they look stylish when i think of Globe i think of Gershon Mosley from the 90's. Your footage with the superstar shoes was amazing though it changed your style a bit and looked amazing and the shoes looked great in the footage as well.

    I don't think adidas do the pure rubber insoles anymore. Shoes which have a rubber insole now have a fabric top layer, I love the adidas busenitz for this. I have an old pair (around 2015) of adidas suciu which had just the blue rubber insole and I agree with you, it was a bit awkward and made my feet really sweat.

    The only way I can do shoes mid board life is if it’s a flight deck, pop secret, or Vx deck and and I regrip it same day. Fresh shoes need new grip 😅
