adidas introduces a look at its latest sneaker model in the form of a Superstar silhouette -- the Sakura sneaker celebrates the iconic tradition in Tokyo which happens annually. The sneaker celebrates Tokyo's cherry blossom season which results in a detailed change that exudes floral beauty and culture.
The shoe retains most of the original Superstar elements including the Shell toe unit and it is paired with emblems that celebrate blossom season. The floral embroidery is paired with netted accents. The shoe is also defined by the clear cherry blossom graphic that is seen on the outsole unit. This is not the first time that the brand has launched sneakers inspired by the plant as the ZX 8000 pack saw the same theme 4 years ago.
