i guess i'm supposed to introduce myself here, let's see...
i've always liked adidas, not too crazy though. earlier this month, i had a trip to Japan and while i was there, i found a pair of adidas superstar with drawings from skaters (or skateboard artists) and shortly i fell in love. my credit card was okay but for some reason it wouldn't work in the adidas stores, i tried in osaka and nagoya, just couldn't work. came home (Taiwan) and looked everywhere on the internet, and went to all the local stores that i know, can't find the pair. i'm obsessed now!!
so then i found this site
btw, my avatar is the shoes i'm looking for, i made a drawing of it with my memory...
anyway, hi guys!

Welcome along.
You're looking for this:

what i find strange is although the illustrations are by a Canadian artist, these aren't available in Canada.

i'm looking for US8, US8.5 is okay too, but 8 is the best fit... if you guys know when i can get a pair, please let me know, thanks.
i'm totally in love with superstar's now, now i'm browsing all the different editions, they all look hot!

ha! i found a site myself:
http://www.soletrader.co.uk/soletrader/product/SoleTrader_Mens_Trainer_Sports_Casual/STARSKEC.htm
UK9 is the same as US8, am i correct? and also, is that a safe site to order? has anyone bought shoes from them before?
and i wanna clearify that this superstar vulcan by adrew pommier has this only color combination. because on the site it says white, but what i really saw in store was light light brown. i just want to make sure that i don't get the wrong color combination...
more searching now, thanks guys!

sup dude. this is a very safe site. this is also a high street store over here in the uk. the colour is an off white or lite beige i would say.
good luck with your purchase.
the uk will have very few half sizes. this will be your best option.

i'm a little lost, so what size should i be looking for? UK7? is there any other UK sites you guys can recommend me? neither of the above sites have my size... thanks in advance.

If you're a US8 then you're a UK7.5 in adidas.. but you'd be fine with a UK8 (US 8.5) cos they come up quite small..

thanks for all the help guys, if you know of another site with Andrew Pommier's Heartfelt edition, please let me know too. cuz i'm thinking to order a few pairs of superstar's at the same time, so i wanna see what other stores' got, appreciate it!

I'm confused... if you want to buy fom a UK site, why do you only know your size in US??
RE: noob here -
rayweipu - 29-02-08
well, because i used to live in the US and most of my shoes are US8 or 8.5. and i found this pair when i was traveling in Japan, and US8 was the best fit when i tried them on there. but after doing some searching, i don't think this style is sold in north america. i could buy from a japanese website but then i don't understand japanese. in case you might want to know, why didn't i buy them while i was in Japan? for some reason my credit card couldn't work there, i tried 3 different adidas stores and none of them worked, how disappointing...
by the way, i found a page online with the originals being released for spring/summer in taiwan. and i found this "Heartfelt" by andrew Pommier being released in Taiwan in April. the weird thing is, the one that's going to be released here looks exactly the same as the above we found except that red line near the bottom of the sneakers. personally i like that red line and that's what i'm going after, but it's really strange if adidas really releases that edition, with so minor change. yes i've checked hundred times, everything else looks the same.
