Hello there, I'm Jenn.
I kind of became obsessed with adidas through my fiance, who's an old-skool California and New Orleans raver. I'm kind of a n00b at this but I know what I like, and what I like is the shelltoe.
I must admit: I found this site and joined for the
sole reason that I'm looking for a specific Superstar. You guys are experts, I know a lot of you really know your stuff, cold so I figured someone could help me.
I'm looking for these:
Art No. 667238
I have ONLY ever seen them at Journeys shoe store here in USA and I could not find them in my size before they took them off the shelves because I wear a 4.5 in US and 4 in UK
So yeah, that's what brought me here. If anyone finds these shoes in my size, please point the way. I'm OBSESSED with these.
As an aside: I think this is an awesome site you have here. I know I'll learn a lot from you. I checked all your guides on "how to spot a fake" and I'm so appreciative. You guys are awesome and I know I'll really enjoy posting here.
Thanks,
jenn

Welcome, Jenn
Hmm..I've never seen them before, my gf would probably like a pair too
I searched around a bit and couldn't find any =( 4.5 US will be very hard to find I'm afraid.

Welcome Jenn. When you get a sec, post some pics of your collection in the Members Collection thread. We'd love to see whatcha got!
As for these, not seen them before, but some one on here is bound to have (assuming they are still available)
And I would be willing to bet that a certain Mr Spite would love to have a pair of these as well!

Thank you everyone!
As it turns out, my correct size in WOMENS is a 6 for Adidas. I've been buying my Superstars sized in men's 4.5 so I thought all SS were like that.
I managed to find a pair of the above shoe in my size, ordered it and it's being shipped! w00t!
Thank you for the welcome here. I'm definitely going to keep posting here.

Great deal! Where did you end up finding it at?

I went BACK to Journeys in my local shopping mall and asked for a manager. I explained to him that the central office tried to locate the shoe but that they have taken it out of the warehouse and they have no access to a db of what's in each individual store.
The Manager got on the computer and the phone until he'd located one in my size. We checked my foot against another women's size 6 to be certain and then he ordered them to be shipped to my door.
And the best part is that since they're on CLEARANCE, I paid only $46 for the whole deal, shipping and sales tax included.
w000000000000000000t!
I'm considering going back there and seeing if he can find another pair for a spare. I only plan to wear the pair I'm getting to parties (I'd LOVE to wear 'em to the 2nd Hullabaloo reunion in TO this summer if I can get tix) but I'd like a second pair to put away, just in case.
Next on my list:

I like the ones with the stars. Just picked up these black suede ones at journey's for 30 bucks. They still have them on website in a 6.

Wow, Sweet! I'm glad to hear about your success! Be careful not to get the infamous disco dirt all over them though when you wear them to parties.
I like those other ones that you found too, they are nice. Did you ever find out the names of them?
Persistence pays off!
