On its tongue you can find the double Prada and Adidas Originals logos for a nice contrast. Prada’s leather-working expertise is evident in the stitching on the shoes.

Pair the sneakers with black or khaki pants and a wallet chain to achieve an upgraded “sk8erboi/gurl” look.

The entire shoe is jet black, including the sole, save for a white Prada logo. It is imprinted with Prada’s logo and hot-stamped with ‘MADE IN ITALY’ to differentiate this shoe from the ones you wore in junior college or polytechnic.

Ten or more years ago, the Superstar shoes were the go-to footwear for plenty of students with its instantly recognisable designs. They were mostly white with the stripes coming in all sorts of colours—green, pink, red, navy—so picking one out was like buying treats at the candy store. 

As a grown up, the black-and-white design could be a better fit for your lifestyle. It will go well with a casual T-shirt and jeans or even a blazer and pants for a K-drama ‘oppa’ look. Honestly, these shoes will go with just about any outfit that doesn’t require heels or a dress shoe.

Finally, the sneaker that started it all: An all-white piece that came with a bowling bag; they have all been snapped up at this point. 

If you want to get your hands on this white beauty, you will either have to purchase them second hand from trading sites like StockX or wait and see if Prada and Adidas will relaunch it at some point.
