Does anyone know http://www.shell-toes.com? I've found 1 report saying that the guy sells fakes, but I've found some gorgeous supes on there. Don't want to end up getting ripped off though.

Yup, fakes :/

This thread is making me potentially spend a lot of money

I want to start a collection of Superstars, some not even to wear, just to look at lol!

Yeah, got some fatties coming today teal/turquoise

Post some pics up once you've re-laced them

Also got an email from GetTheLabel about those supes I ordered

Due to unprecedented demand the items you ordered are taking a little longer to dispatch, please bear with us as we go through this busy period. Please allow us 5-7 working days for your order.

Just my luck :rolleyes:

Question about Superstars in half sizes. a US 10/UK 9.5 is it just the width that changes or is the shoe longer too?

Will do, they may be at home when I get back tonight but I'm going to the boozer tonight so I will be in no fit state to lace trainers!

The delay may be due to their stock list not showing as any available seeing as I ordered 5 pairs :/

Give them a call to check, if they say some dick ordered 5 pairs that'll be me!

Best thing to do is to go to a shop and try them on!

Try and try on the same style though as there is a difference between the Superstars/Superstars II/Vins/80's/LUX so make sure you try on similar to what you're looking to order.

Superstars are spot on with the rest of the Adidas shoes i own. (Apart from Stan Smiths). If you have any other Adidas, just get the same size, it should be ok... and this is from a collection of about 40 adidas.

G|mp · 26 Nov 2009 at 16:46

He's not on about other Adidas though is he, he's on about Superstars and they all have a slightly different fit to them.

Chiz · 26 Nov 2009 at 16:50

God i honestly cannot wait for these to be re-released. I have the Footpatrols in this colorway already, but these are the ORIGINALS!!...well a re-release

Chiz · 26 Nov 2009 at 16:51

Sorry, mis-read the question.

I've never actually seen any Superstars in half sizes. Depends on what ones you're after though. Limited edition don't tend to come in half sizes.. More common JD Sports etc probably do. I would assume that there would be an increase in width.

Crappy blurry phone pic... BUT! White or yellow laces?

Lopéz · 26 Nov 2009 at 17:46

Hmm, not sure. The white lace and the white midsole "sandwich" the yellow stripes nicely, but on the other hand the yellow laces compliment the stripes and look cool.

Either way they need to be laced criss-cross and the whites need to be a little bit fatter if you go for them.

Burned_Alive · 26 Nov 2009 at 17:49

Yellow, definitely.

prUnE · 26 Nov 2009 at 17:52

I'm thinking the yellow looks better too.

Fat yellow criss crossed

Chiz · 26 Nov 2009 at 20:03

I tend to match the laces with the 3 stripes to be honest. This isn't always the case but in the above, i think Yellow would definitely look better.
