2008 Superstar Skates -
Keeop - 06-01-08
No pics i'm afraid!
Just been reading an article with one of the 'adiskate' design people. I quote..."In the middle of 2008 there will be a redesigned shelltoe...that is modeled after an original late seventies model of the shoe. It's completely dialed in [whatever the funk that means]..and is true to the style of shelltoe everyone used to wear in the early nineties"
Don't really know what all that means with regard to the aesthetics of a superstar/shelltoe but can't wait til mid-08.

Great stuff, the superstar skates are a thing of beauty, I'm a picky sod and even I've got two pairs already, I'm sure they'll be more!
Half tempted to go on the bay and see if I can find a santa cruz rob roskopp with some slimeball vomits.

I don't know what one of those is but I don't think I want one!
I'm awaiting my second pair of superskates but must confess to never owning a skateboard or being up on the terminology, I just like the sneaks!

They should put that shell on all future Superstars (except the vintage model of course). The old shells look so much better than the newer ones - IMO anyway...

Superskates are different to Superstar Skates fella..

Glad to see you spotted my deliberate mistake. I of course was and have been meaning Superstar Skates as opposed to the far inferior Superskate.

Gutted - ordered a pair of white/iron/black superstar skates on Friday, arrived today but they are the wrong size! The shop no longer have my size in stock (UK 8 ) and I can't find this colour anywhere!!!
Life is so unfair. I've had to order me a pair of white/red vintages to ease the pain - my first pair of vintage, hope they are as good as the pictures suggest.

the white/red vintages are superb!
- and a lot better than the SS Skates, but that's just my opinion...

Check out one of Pokey's auctions on the bay item no: 300186067808
he has the ones your after I think (same as top of board pic) at size 8 uk, could be a bargain if no one else bids.
Bidding ends in 6 hours so better get yer "skates" on.
sorry.

If anyone knows where there's a pair of Superstar Skate in "Espresso" colourway size UK10.5 please let me know. Natterjacks had a pic of them but they've taken it off their site, emailed them and they said even adidas don't have any more of them.
