adidas and LEGO have once again teamed up, this time to drop two new kids-exclusive LEGO x adidas Originals Superstars in a blue and red colorway. Both the sneakers arrive with a smooth black leather finish and grooved white leather side stripes, as well as LEGO co-branding on the padded tongues.
In addition, the new Superstars feature plastic LEGO brick overlays on the shell-toe and heels, making it appear as if the shoes are one part sneaker, one part LEGO piece. Rounding out the silhouette is a thick, all-white outsole and extra-wide black laces that run over the tongue.
Moreover, the new sneakers contribute to adidas larger sustainability-focused initiatives, as both pairs come constructed from recycled materials.
