Especially the endorsement by the the legendary hip hop crew Run-DMC, which even dedicated a song to this sneaker in 1986, made the Adidas Superstar to actually one of the biggest superstars in sneaker history. Just like the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars the sneaker made the transition from the gym to the streets, where it was worn primarily in the 80's by b-boys with extra thick laces. Since then the Superstar has been updated on a regular basis and made it all the way from the 60's up to now a very desirable sneaker.
