ITT Buyers remorse thread.

I swear there must be Adidas viral marketers posting on /fa/, shilling the new Superstars. I see people talk about how effay they are all the time and it coincides with their new campaign. There are people here on the Adidas payroll, getting money to post. I fucking guarantee it.

I've been wiping my pair frantically with a cloth and thankfully they now look white as snow, have no creases or any evidence they were worn at all. Hopefully I can return my Superstars to the store and get myself a pair of a better trainers, like Sambas or Gazelles.

The shell toe is hideous. Not effay at all.

>posting a timeless design must be viral marketing

Dude, superstars are one of the most iconic sneaker designs of all time. People are just sick of Nike and have realized that Adidas is clearly the superior sneaker lifestyle brand.

It's no coincidence that cutting edge designers such as Yohji Yamamoto,Rick Owens and Raf Simons have collaborated with a brand that allows such a great deal of creative freedom.

>> No.9564667

They've changed Stan Smiths. I saw them in the store and they look different before, and much worse. The leather is thinner and wrinkly and of inferior quality. The sole is cream instead of white, ruining the cleanliness which is the appeal of stans in the first place. The green tab at the back is a dull suede. The tongue is thin and ratty and the underside isn't padded at all.

I feel sorry for anyone who cops the new stans.

Shut the fuck up Adidas. They look like shit, and they will never ever be a honeypot like Stan Smiths were. Give it up.

They are the ugliest thing pushed on this board in a very long time.

Part of the worn in leather look is that the leather acquires wrinkles from use. You should only worry about creases in leather with dress shoes, or if you're black also your sneakers.

raf simons has been off his game for quite a few yrs now..
he literally threw on a red paint job and a perforated RAF on a stan smith and sold it for $400 and fuccboi's are eating it up like shit.
even tricky ricky is falling off his game they're becoming too lazy with their collections, many bedroom designers could make collections better than the shit they've been spewing out for the last couple of yrs and thats the truth, dont get me wrong i like raf and rick but like i said you can easily tell that they're getting lazy and not putting in the time to make an amazing collection, they're resting on their laurels too much..
