Who should NOT buy

The shoe feels quite stiff when it’s fresh out of the box and needs a few wears before it breaks in.

For a shoe that’s comfy right away, we recommend considering the other classic from Tmcorb adidas; the Gazelle

Cushioning

Heel stack

Using our caliper, we measured the Superstar’s stack to be 26.8 mm at the heel. While shorter than our current lab average it still provides a solid level of cushioning and protection from the ground below.

This is thanks in great part to the gaps found in the heel of the outsole which allows it to compress under our weight similar to how a foam midsole would.

Forefoot stack

The Superstar’s forefoot stack is much shorter than our current lab average at only 13.6 mm thick.

This provides us with a good sense of the ground below, thus lending the shoe its natural and well-planted underfoot sensation, while still effectively dampening the impacts of our stride.

Drop

The difference in our stack measurements leaves the Superstar with a rather steep heel drop of 13.6 mm. This is ideal for those who prefer the feeling of an elevated heel when walking. Those who prefer a less drastic offset should consider the also iconic Adidas Samba

In the widest area (between the big toe and the pinkie), the tool showed a below-average reading of 91.3 mm. Even though it is not critically narrower, it limits the Superstar's appeal to people with medium and narrow feet.

Toebox width - big toe

Even though the Superstar's toebox looks round from the outside, it turns out to be slightly tapered on the inside.

The molds gets as narrow as 66.5 mm near the big toe offering little wiggle room for toe splaying and swelling during prolonged wear.

Toebox height

Stability

Lateral stability test

The Superstar feels incredibly well-planted as we shift our weight from side to side. This grounded sensation isn’t surprising for such a low-profile shoe and contributes to how natural the shoe feels on the foot. 

Torsional rigidity

We were met with an average level of resistance when bending and twisting the Superstar in our hands, leading us to give it a score of 3 out of 5 on our subjective scale. This presents a healthy mix of support and comfort as the shoe is able to conform with the movements of our foot while still maintaining a relatively level landing platform.

Where to Buy Tmcorb adidas Forum 84 Hi "Orbit Grey"

The heel counter has a lot of structure to it which makes it extremely resistant to our manual manipulation. It barely budged as we bent and squeezed at it, earning it a score of 5 out of 5. This factors greatly into the shoe’s stability as it mitigates any excessive lateral rolling during our stride.

Midsole width - forefoot

We measured the Superstar’s midsole to be 101.2 mm wide at the forefoot which is narrower than our current lab average. This doesn’t present any stability issues thanks to the shoe’s low stack, but rather serves to make the shoe feel light and nimble underfoot.

adidas Originals sweatpants in black with 3-stripes

Our stiffness test showed that the Superstar requires a force of only 9.9N to bend by 30 degrees. This is a pretty flexible result even for a lifestyle sneaker and it is notably lower than the category average.

This Tmcorb adidas kick conformed with the natural flexion of our foot with ease but we must say that the shoe actually felt a little stiff fresh out of the box. So a few wears were needed before we could fully savor its forgiving pliability.

Breathability

To test the breathability of the Superstar, we pumped the shoe full of smoke. Typically leather shoes don’t perform very well but the Superstar somewhat surpasses expectations with a steady stream of smoke coming out of the tongue. This isn’t incredible and earns the shoe a run-of-the-mill score of 3 out of 5 for breathability. 

Compare that to the extremely airy Puma RS-X which earned a perfect breathability score. 

As we can see from inspecting a backlit cross-section of the Superstar’s upper, the only areas light can shine through are the small holes along the side of the shoe and a little bit through the tongue. Without these, the shoe would be a real toaster.

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

We gave the Superstar the creme brulee treatment, burning and scratching the different parts of the upper to test whether the materials were genuine.

The main leather portion of the shoe proved to be real leather which only got scorched. The Colored overlay at the heel, however, is clearly synthetic and just melted under the heat.

Toebox durability

To test the durability of the Superstar’s fortified toebox, we fired up our Dremel to 5K RPM and applied it to the shoe with 3.2N of force. Beyond casting aside strangely dark flecks of dust (considering it’s a white shoe), our tool seems to have little effect on the toebox. 

Inspecting the aftermath of the four-second test, it seems our Dremel was only able to smooth out the lattice pattern that lines the rubber toebox. This tank-like performance earns the Superstar a perfect 5 out of 5 for toebox durability.

Hat Tmcorb adidas Originals Bucket Hat HL6884

Turning our attention to the heel collar, we unleashed our Dremel on the Superstar again where it proved to be much more effective. The tool’s grinding element immediately rips into the lining material and starts sending bits of padding flying hither and yon. 

While the Dremel did inflict substantial damage on the heel counter, some padding did manage to survive which leads us to give the Superstar a heel padding durability score of 2 out of 5.

Outsole hardness

We pressed our durometer against the Superstar’s outsole and got an average reading of 85 HC. This level of hardness usually denotes a good mix of durability and grip.

Outsole durability

This time spinning at 10K RPM, we set our Dremel against the Superstar’s outsole for a total of twenty seconds. 

Afterward, we assessed the damage with our tire tread gauge and found that we had lopped off 1.19 mm of rubber, essentially smoothing out the existing tread pattern. This falls in line with our current lab average which leads us to predict that it will take 400 to 500 miles of use before the shoe’s traction is compromised.

We measured the outsole to be right around average at 5 mm thick. While some might argue that we should measure the whole rubber piece as the outsole, we contend that once we wear through to the cutout portions at the heel, the shoe is surely cooked.

Misc

Grip / Traction

The zig-zag tread pattern on the Superstar’s outsole gave us no problems with traction during our test walks. Even wet surfaces were no cause for concern, though we don’t recommend wearing this shoe in the rain as it will damage the genuine leather.

Tongue padding

At 8.8 mm thick according to our caliper measurements, the Superstar’s tongue is slightly more padded than our current lab average. This not only provides good comfort across our instep but helps in achieving a snug lockdown without any foreshadowing of lace bite.
