first pair was back in 96 in high school, was typical white with black stripe, they were my school shoes at the time, lasted me about a year before they fell apart from the usual school kid crap haha
second pair I think was 2001/2002 I remember my cousin and I buying a pair each from a discount bin at a department store, we thought they were the shit to go clubbing with hahaha
he got a white/black stripe and I got white/lightblue stripes, think we paid about $30 for them hahaha
haaa found an old photo with the white/blues in the background, man they were beaten up

mine were this year lol my first pair.
my folks would never pay that much for my shoes growing up. they all seemed to be over 120$ in aus (unless u really looked which i hadnt the interest at the time). but now this interest is killing my bank and my last few pairs have been WAY over that price
lol

My Dad was working in German a lot at the time and after months of pestering he finally came home one weekend with a pair of "Made In France" white SS1's with black stripes. That were slightly too small but I couldn't have been happier. Second pair came about 18 months later when I scored a wht/red pair in Amsterdam.

I have a size 12/13 foot so Supes were never a consideration for me as most UK retailers - until now - stop dead at an 11, or if you're really lucky, a 12, and that doesn't work with a shoe as narrow and harsh as Supes are, so I never really took any interest in them.
I've always been into adidas and footwear, though, so one time I found a pair of red half-shells on t'net and from there stumbled onto Shotta's site on eBay, looking for 'red' 'adidas' in the search engine.. and et voila. I found a pair of Bulls in a 12UK, which were too small for me. I loved the design so I typed 'superstar' into Yahoo and it came back with this place as well as getting me my second pair which were the brown/green/white TL's.
It's been chaos ever since.

Can’t remember my first pair, probably the generic but solid, white with black stripes.
I'v had these for a fair few years, and wear them to work every day.
Comfy as fuck.

My fat-footed brother had some first in late 1980something - I put folded socks under the tongues so they'd fit.
Alas no picture.
Although usually wearing adidas on my feet, gazelle/samba/samoa/country (leading to the horrible washing machine incident of 2001) I never bought more shell toes of my own until about 4 years ago.
Then I bought a few more pairs...
