The adidas Originals Superstar 2 TL Gold CS Perf features a rich leather upper and comes with the classic rubber shell toe, textile lining and a rubber herringbone-pattern sole. The Superstar was originally introduced on the courts in 1969 for testing, and was released to the public in 1970 as the first low basketball shoe to feature an all-leather upper and the world-renowned rubber shell toe. By the mid 70s, three quarters of all NBA players were wearing new shell toes from adidas.
