From its humble beginnings on the basketball courts to becoming a regular fixture in popular culture time and time again, the adidas Originals Superstar has truly become royalty in sneaker culture.

Like many of adidas’ most revered archive silhouettes, the Superstar was originally released under ‘La marque aux 3 bandes’ and manufactured in the East of France.

adidas Originals have teamed up with Ateliers Heschung, a family run factory who manufactured shoes for adidas France in the 1970s, to create a special ‘Made in France’ Consortium edition of this much loved silhouette.

To complement the adidas Consortium Superstar ‘Made in France’ release dropping December 12th, they’ve released this video for a better visual detail of the shoes history. Enjoy!
