No shoe is as embedded in culture as the Adidas Superstar. It has held decades of relevance from its debut in 1969 till today where we meet this forever story with one of our own - legendary photographer Sue Kwon. For our latest editorial with Adidas, CNCPTS has recruited New York's brightest to feature the Adidas Superstars in this portrait series finding legends intersecting with legends.
Oscar 1992 dances for a portrait stating, “The weight of any outfit starts at the feet, grounding the entire look. In my experience, the Adidas shell toes have not only been a staple but have played a key role in shaping my style ethos. Whether it's breakdancing in a cypher, house dancing, or even vogueing.”
Sherije sits for Sue Kwon, reminiscing on her long standing love of styling, “Adidas Superstars are best styled with Phat Laces and Gold Jewelry.”
Cake and Britt are photographed together noting, “Style is timeless. Being shot by Sue reminded us how important legacy is. We both hope that we leave our mark on NY the way she has.”
Vegas condoms that, “Style is whatever you want it to be and being a Superstar is being who you are meant to be.”
Adidas Superstar is available now at CNCPTS stores and cncpts.com.
