The Superstar model, originating in 2007, spearheaded the 'distressed sneaker' trend, drawing inspiration from the worn aesthetics of Los Angeles skate culture. This design choice challenged the prevailing norms of pristine luxury, embracing a philosophy of 'perfect imperfection'. Each pair is meticulously handcrafted in Italy, solidifying its unique, artisanal character.
Primarily designed as casual footwear, the Superstar excels as a lifestyle sneaker suitable for everyday wear. The durable rubber cup sole provides reliable grip, even in wet conditions, enhancing its practicality. The 3cm thick insole, coupled with a hidden wedge, subtly elevates the wearer, offering both comfort and a touch of added height.
The Superstar's influence is undeniable, frequently seen on fashion icons. Julie Sarinana, known for her blog Sincerely Jules, has been spotted on various occasions sporting the Superstar. Leandra Medine, the founder of Man Repeller, has also been seen displaying the shoe. Chris Hemsworth was seen wearing the shoe 'out and about' in July 2023. These are just a few examples of the Superstar's pervasive presence in contemporary style.
The Wmns Superstar boasts a low-top silhouette, expertly hand-finished to achieve a deliberately distressed appearance. Premium materials include a white full-grain leather upper, an ice-grey suede star, and a silver metallic leather heel tab. The interior features a terry cloth lining in the tongue and foot area, with a genuine leather insole and a high-density foam for cushioning.
