The BEAMS x adidas Superstar II “Core Black” brings a sleek reinterpretation of a timeless silhouette. Built on the sturdier Superstar II chassis from the late ’90s, this version leans heavily into retro nostalgia without abandoning the minimalist sophistication that BEAMS is known for.
The pair is anchored by a rich, matte black leather upper that’s buttery-soft to the touch. White Three-Stripes branding on the sidewalls and a matching heel tab offer stark contrast, allowing the base to remain centre stage.
It’s the shell toe, however, where BEAMS makes its most confident move, subtly embossing its name directly into the rubber cap.
The branding blends in at a glance, but on closer inspection, it becomes the defining feature of the shoe.
A padded tongue, gold foil Trefoil logos, and black-on-black laces round out the design, keeping everything low-key and considered.
The wider fit and updated midsole create a slightly chunkier profile that nods to the Superstar’s heyday in ’90s Japanese streetwear.
