Hi Guys,
I'm a newbie (but I did say hello over on the welcome thread) trying to identify a pair of old and much loved superstars so I can buy my better half a new pair for his birthday.
I had no idea, when I started this quest, how many types of superstar trainer there actually are. I thought it was going to be a simple case of 'oh well, they have 'superstar' written down the side, they'll be easy to find then' - no chance!
So, I was wondering if any of you experts can identify them?
The closest I've got is a sort of cross between a Superstar 2G - but the shell seems different, the stitching on the back is different, and the colourways don't seem to be available as it's all white body and coloured accents rather than the other way about as per my ones - and a Superstar II - where the shell seems more alike, but the sole is flat compared to the curved sole of the ones in my pics.
On my shoe, the material is a blue suede which has faded alot through use and washing (eeek!) but I can't even seem to find a newer model which has the same dark blue suede colourway with the white shell that the other half totally loves.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer.
