Adidas Adifom Superstar Mule White Black

Released on 30 April 2024 and part of adidas's adiFOM Superstar Mule line. This release has a eva upper in Cloud White/Core Black/Cloud White. Take the Superstar, a 1969 basketball shoe whose moulded rubber shell toe was made to protect players' feet under the basket, remove the heel, and mould the whole thing from foam. That is the adiFOM Superstar Mule, and it is a genuinely strange object: the most historically loaded silhouette adidas owns, rebuilt as something you kick on at the door. White with Black keeps the original's colour logic intact, so the reference survives the transformation even though almost nothing else does. The mule format is the real change. A shoe that was designed to be laced tight for a sport is now a shoe you step into without bending down.
