Chances are you had a pair of Adidas Superstar sneakers back in the day, and there’s a reason why the brand never sunset the style: it’s a classic. But just because it’s always been around, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s always been at the top of the must-buy list. Suddenly, this sneaker is back in a big way. Empty the piggy back, you need this shoe, and we recommend picking it up in the most classic colorway possible: black & white.

Now that you have it, what should you pair with it? The Superstars aren’t a super slim sneaker. Since you have some volume on your feet, pair these with some skinny pants or jeans. Not wanting to look too streamlined with everything hyper fitted, we suggest going a little oversized on top, but still polished. Pick up a crisp polo to unexpectedly pair under a cozy hoodie, or a striped euro tee, with a military jacket over.
You can find it all right here. Mix and match at will, and remember those rules about not wearing navy and black together are long gone.
