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.
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 credit you and Roman (Prodigal Suns) for my resurgence as a skater. 20+ years of being a pedestrian has ended thanks in large part to you! Thanks for all the tutorials and product reviews!
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.
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.
A million times yes, I've noticed the same 'soggy' feeling when I switch between Vans & Adidas shoes, I'm convinced its the major difference in how grippy the soles are.
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.
Stylewise is unbeatable! Superstar really took place in nineties, especially rocking those with blank white tee and baggy washed jeans! I used to wear regular ss back in the days and never went wrong
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.
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 ✌🏽
Before Ben I had no idea there was even 2 types of skate shoes with this vulcanized vs cupsole battle 😂 I always just skated whatever. I can say I like something with a stiffer sole because Im not much of a fan of my Vans Sk8 his I'm rocking now. Ive had countless superstars over the years and always liked them. Not sure losing the puffy tongues with the ADVs is worth the trade for the extra stitching tho? 🤔what say you?
these seem like a pretty dope shoe for the longevity, dunno if i could deal with the bulkyness and lack of boardfeel to start with tho. maybe i should man up and stop being a baby! haha. I hate trying to find new shoes ;( im tight and only wanna spend less than 40 on a pair of shoes which makes finding some VERY difficult haha. Loved the video as per usual ben!
I've always skated janoski and vans type shoes and then bought the dc legacy og's, it's so weird first but after a day it became so much fun and I really got confident. You should really try something bulky. (sorry for my english)
Bro if you have any doubts, don’t have them. These are the best but get the regular super stars. Don’t listen to the haters. I’ll never go back to vans , I do occasionally wear Nike GT low pros.
My gosh, Ben!!! My right ankle is injuried and i cannot skate well. Watching you skate just makes me want to go skating and wind up hurting my ankle more. Your skating is going crazy!!!!!
I have noticed these shoes on a lot of clips they look great. I think Kareem rocked them pretty hard back when they weren’t skate specific the toe cap must have been gnarly lol. 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
I mean around these parts we have a rule: absolutely never old board new shoes. Each session after the first one or two becomes exponentially more of a psychotic move to use new shoes. Especially cup soles.
Keep up the amazing work! Literally the third video I found, but holy cow your vids are awesome Ben! Please don’t stop posting :D making me want to skate!
I always wanted the white upper with black sole/toe version of these made famous by Mr Joey Bast and the Planet Earth squad. I think there was a gum version that was hella swanky too.
I'd just shoegoo the first lacehole on the outside of the shoe after i laced it up correctly the first time. good to know. thanks for an awesome review, again :)
I got the thrasher collab ones, loving them after breaking them in. I keep looking but they aren't really making any other colour ways at the moment. Would love to see a black with white toe
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.
Been watching your vids for time, I’m sorry I didn’t subscribe till now, RUclips just told me to do I did. Enjoy the vids, love to see a clear og skate as good as you do
The lace breakage is also problem with Campus Adv. Hate how to shoe looks and feels so sloppy when the laces are gone and the laces are gone after every session.
Hi Ben, just expecting for Ben's new vid issue! Did not watch already but whatever just want to say thank you for your effort in producing so good containt, once more!
The ADV stands for "advanced" and it means that the shoe is upgraded for better performance on skateboard. I purchased Superstars ADVs and beside thinner tongue and some extra doubled stitches I also discovered the main difference which I wouldn't describe as an upgrade. I'm talking about the midsole, in classic superstars there is a nice foam making a shoe super comfy meanwhile in ADVs I found plastic square grid which I find very cheap looking and less durable. I wonder why they replaced the foam, the argument might be less weight but I don't think there's a big difference. There also can be more versions of classics and ADVs, maybe it depends when the shoe was made. What do you think?
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 would love to see you do a Boardycakes wheel review. they're a smaller company specializing in small wheels Spencer Nuzzi of The Ride Channel is sponsored by them though
I had noticed a fair amount of skateboarding in those bad boys. I've wanted to skate a pair since I started way back in 2000 2001. Now I'll have a pair.
i have the white ones, they are the best shoes i’ve ever skated because they are so durable and the sole is zo amazing thick, it does feel a little bit weird at the start but after 1 session i could skate them perfectly fine. they are a little bit snug but you won’t really notice it.
I'm going to use that as a ploy for new gear. "Hey babe, I know I said I don't need any new skate stuff, but I just started wearing these new shoes.....turns out I need some new trucks".
If you like the Adidas Classic Style with a Vulc Sole i recommend the Adidas Busenitz Vulc 2 . I had one pair of them and it surprisingly lasts for 4 Months last summer what‘s insane for a vulc shoe.
Filibustering another video! Ben that was so damn funny. It slipped under the radar for a sec before it registered. If you’ve been watching for awhile, that’s the trademark ending of Bens videos. Don’t know why but I’m still laughing. Great content as always. I’m a huge adidas fan but find I bust a lot of laces with them. My Janowskis are holding up much better than anticipated though.
I remember when the superstar was a mid top with a strap, those were the best footlocker shoe for 49$. Now they don’t make them. Since Adidas when full skate mode with the Busenitz
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.
@@vimos.9996 dunks have a really good flick to them and last real long too. It sucks that a "corporate" brand makes the best skate shoe but its true, dunks really are that good. Jordan 1s are pretty much a slimmed down version of the dunk and skate crazy good if you really dont like chunky shoes.
I love supporting skate brands and all, but when any company makes a shoe I like better then I’m gonna get it🤷🏻♂️. I’m not gonna feel sorry for spending money I earned just cuz some kids at the skatepark can give me shit over shoes of all things. 🙄
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.
Hey Ben, love the videos! I'd love to hear your take on some insole brands. I personally use FP insoles (elites usually) and they work amazing for me. I think you'd have a lot to breakdown with them!
Also the insole on the superstar Vulc adv was my favorite because I could ride those shoes stock and not throw footprint insoles in them like I do to all my other shoes
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.
I have skated Vans Elijah Berle pros until I bought the green adidas Tyshawn pro model. And there is quite a difference in feel for both shoes. I just figured it had to do with me always skating Vans. 🤷🏻♂️
Ben, I noticed that an ad popped up before this video! Does that mean you're getting some sweet youtube money? If so, I'll watch the ads so you can consume more products and make more content for the masses to enjoy
thanks for the review ben,

Hey Tiny, so how did it turn out?
Im a huge shelltoe fan and havent started skateboarding yet but im hoping i dont have to swap my preferred sneakers.
A million times yes, I've noticed the same 'soggy' feeling when I switch between Vans & Adidas shoes, I'm convinced its the major difference in how grippy the soles are.

You're right, but once you learn go Vans or Lakai. Better feel.
@@dougmedina4619 Yeah I can see how that makes sense. I still have a good pair of Vans 112 Pros I haven't skated much with yet.
@@dougmedina4619 vulcs blow out in like 4 days

Man, Ben such a whole hearted genuine human. We appreciate you man, you're awesome too. Too cool of a dad for sure too 😎
We love ya Ben ❤
Hey I'm a Superstar fan and collector, and not particularly a skater. But I loved your technical review on the shoes. Keep them coming!
Glad you like them!
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 have wide feet and these worked out perfectly for me. Best shoe I've had in a while.

I’d love to see your opinions on the éS Accel OG
I've had a few in a roll if someone needs advice
I've skated them and honestly they were way to big for me and i lost some flip tricks while using them
Maybe my favorite skate shoe of all time. Very durable and every trick feels great on it. Also great impact
There amazing, great boardfeel for the puffyness
Best shoe
Wow, those superstars looks amazing in this wel-skated condition.
That nollie front crook was awesome!!! Awesome to watch you progress over the past year or so!
these seem like a pretty dope shoe for the longevity, dunno if i could deal with the bulkyness and lack of boardfeel to start with tho. maybe i should man up and stop being a baby! haha. I hate trying to find new shoes ;( im tight and only wanna spend less than 40 on a pair of shoes which makes finding some VERY difficult haha. Loved the video as per usual ben!
Give the straye a try for affordable skate shoes. Jamie Thomas and the Muska are involved with them so they r pretty decent
I've always skated janoski and vans type shoes and then bought the dc legacy og's, it's so weird first but after a day it became so much fun and I really got confident. You should really try something bulky. (sorry for my english)
for the price.. not sure it last that long....
Try looking on depop for shoes there are a lot of used skate shoes that people haven’t skated that are rly cheap
Bro if you have any doubts, don’t have them. These are the best but get the regular super stars. Don’t listen to the haters. I’ll never go back to vans , I do occasionally wear Nike GT low pros.
YES!!! An awkward outro! You never fail to deliver Ben :)
On a more serious note, damn, your skating has been top notch lately. Keep at it!
My gosh, Ben!!! My right ankle is injuried and i cannot skate well. Watching you skate just makes me want to go skating and wind up hurting my ankle more.
Your skating is going crazy!!!!!
Would love to see you review Welcome Skateboards. IMO some of the most impressive art and shapes in skating rn. Luv the vids man
I’ve Been waiting for this review!!!!!!!! Thanks Ben for always making the greatest skate content around
7:25 was the cleanest thing I’ve seen in a loooong time

dam maybe im a psycho
Hope you get a chance to skate some rowans soon ;) Best skate shoe of 2020 hands down! Oh i also got some white half cabs because of you
just got these in the mail yesterday and funny enough u post this today
Keep up the amazing work! Literally the third video I found, but holy cow your vids are awesome Ben! Please don’t stop posting :D making me want to skate!
Ben: Now get on your board and go skate
Me: But... I just came back!
I always wanted the white upper with black sole/toe version of these made famous by Mr Joey Bast and the Planet Earth squad. I think there was a gum version that was hella swanky too.
The gum version was hot!!! I wanted those so bad.
Hey man I love your videos and how far in depth you go especially on your wheel and deck vids great work keep doing your thing🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I'd just shoegoo the first lacehole on the outside of the shoe after i laced it up correctly the first time. good to know. thanks for an awesome review, again :)

You should try those shoes with paracord laces instead.
Been a viewer since last year, come back today and seeing all these while hair makes me so sad. How time flies
You should try oxelo vulca 500 from decalthon. Its quite durable in my opinion.. Btw love your skateboarding content:)
You said 'take off' at the end and now I want to watch Strange Brew.
the swoop thing on the toe is from the way you tie your shoes you tie them really tight man
Been watching your vids for time, I’m sorry I didn’t subscribe till now, RUclips just told me to do I did. Enjoy the vids, love to see a clear og skate as good as you do
Started skating Adidas after watching love child by world industries in like I think 1992.
What was with those basketball goals
You have a super big vocabulary. I love it.
The lace breakage is also problem with Campus Adv. Hate how to shoe looks and feels so sloppy when the laces are gone and the laces are gone after every session.
i don't understand why no shoes just put a flap of extra material over the kick flip side of the laces to prevent lace breakage for a while
so you had to go buy another one...
I love you Ben ! What a great review, love your content.

Ive never actually bought new shoes and had my set up feel worse. But luckily ive bought new shoes that seemed to help my setup which was very nice.
i would love to see you do a Boardycakes wheel review. they're a smaller company specializing in small wheels Spencer Nuzzi of The Ride Channel is sponsored by them though
You should try the pro model versions of the superstars.
these r those
dude is so positive i love it
I had noticed a fair amount of skateboarding in those bad boys. I've wanted to skate a pair since I started way back in 2000 2001. Now I'll have a pair.
I am still waiting on the Joslin Review. Great review tho!
Love Ben’s outros 😂
The best shoe for Skateboarding ! Etnies Joslin 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
You should review April Skateboards.
Best product reviews on yt
Try the eS Accel OGs. Or the Accel Slims.
i have the white ones, they are the best shoes i’ve ever skated because they are so durable and the sole is zo amazing thick, it does feel a little bit weird at the start but after 1 session i could skate them perfectly fine. they are a little bit snug but you won’t really notice it.
“I believe this area is a bit more grippier and more supple.”
*”YES SUPPLE”*
I'm going to use that as a ploy for new gear. "Hey babe, I know I said I don't need any new skate stuff, but I just started wearing these new shoes.....turns out I need some new trucks".
I’ve been waiting for this !!!
Been sitting in my shopping kart for like a month I’m skating the Vans Rowan right now and that shoe is holding up great
Love it when shoes have a rubber toe
Makes my shoe feel like its indestructible for a while
6:40 Yow, switch back tail!! NICE!😎👍🏻
Yeah i saw him setting up for that and I did not think he would do it! Looked awesome.
If you like the Adidas Classic Style with a Vulc Sole i recommend the Adidas Busenitz Vulc 2 . I had one pair of them and it surprisingly lasts for 4 Months last summer what‘s insane for a vulc shoe.
I just place an order from Amazon in very good price, Thanks for the review Ben.
Can you review the Spanky G6 from Emerica?

Don’t know why but I’m still laughing. Great content as always. I’m a huge adidas fan but find I bust a lot of laces with them. My Janowskis are holding up much better than anticipated though.
The ADV isn't necessarily the Vulc variation but more so to show it's "advanced tech" similar to the difference between a vans classic vs a vans pro.
👍 thank you
This isn't a drywall video! What is going on?! Haha good to see you somewhere else man
I remember when the superstar was a mid top with a strap, those were the best footlocker shoe for 49$. Now they don’t make them. Since Adidas when full skate mode with the Busenitz
I had the original white ones back in the late 90s and didn't really liked them for skating.
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.
Call me corporate but this and the Nike Dunk are my favorite skate shoes of all time.
Lord Dirt I want to buy them but are they chunky and hard to flip?
@@vimos.9996 dunks have a really good flick to them and last real long too. It sucks that a "corporate" brand makes the best skate shoe but its true, dunks really are that good. Jordan 1s are pretty much a slimmed down version of the dunk and skate crazy good if you really dont like chunky shoes.

Isn't the toebox very narrow? I remember I tried them once and I felt my toe and pinkie getting smashed together lol
Haven’t skated the ADV yet.. I really like the classic superstars and i love dunks. Can’t like corporate companies make some good shoes
I skated in superstars back in the late 90s.
I used the vert button until I found some skating. Sick nollie front crook bro!
For sure on the halfway board mark with new shoes
YES, when i first got a pair, I could not do any tricks on my board for the first days
I got used to it tho!
Hey Ben can you please review a Chapman deck from New York? (Zoo York, IronClaw, Supreme, Shut)
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.
Hey Ben, love the videos!
I'd love to hear your take on some insole brands. I personally use FP insoles (elites usually) and they work amazing for me. I think you'd have a lot to breakdown with them!
the spots looks so fun !
Etnies Marana please please please. I think you will love them, a sturdy cupsole with board feel
Also the insole on the superstar Vulc adv was my favorite because I could ride those shoes stock and not throw footprint insoles in them like I do to all my other shoes
I mean, superstar to skate is good, but I remember the campus Hi tim O´connor and that was sick shoe from Adidas.🙏👟💎🛹
I am on my tenth pair or so. Very comfy and durable too!
You should do a review for a baker board
They look so cool. I plan on getting them, just don’t when
I spotted a sale on these for 55$. Gonna have to try them out. Even though they are outside of my skate shoe comfort zone. Too sick looking to resist
Can you review a polar deck
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.
I have skated Vans Elijah Berle pros until I bought the green adidas Tyshawn pro model. And there is quite a difference in feel for both shoes. I just figured it had to do with me always skating Vans. 🤷🏻♂️
Nice review! Do a review of the Etnies Marana !
When you gonna do some videos on bearings??? Swiss vs reds would be good.
Hello i just bought a pair of City Cup and i can't wait to skate with them..
Ben, I noticed that an ad popped up before this video! Does that mean you're getting some sweet youtube money? If so, I'll watch the ads so you can consume more products and make more content for the masses to enjoy
Yes it does. I'm not sure you actually have to sit through the ads but if you want🤷🏻♂️
Wholesome ending
It would be great to see how you'd skate the new Joslin 2's
