Coca-Cola and adidas Originals unveil weathered Superstar II for Japan launch

That worn-in treatment is the point. Cream softens the white leather, red sharpens the palette, and the Coca-Cola Classic script on the side panel reads less like a shout and more like a signature. For streetwear, that restraint matters: the sneaker gives you a recognizable logo story without tipping into novelty costume territory, which is why food-and-drink collabs keep finding traction when they let familiar branding sit on a proven silhouette instead of burying it under gimmicks.

The Superstar II also arrives as part of a wider six-shoe summer capsule, with the broader lineup extending beyond this pair to a Samba, a Superstar, an Adistar Control 5, an F50 Megaride and a ClimaCool 1. That range says plenty about adidas Originals’ current playbook: the brand is treating Superstar as a core icon, not a heritage relic, and has been describing it as a shoe created for basketball and adopted by streetwear pioneers. In adidas’ 2026 storytelling, Samuel L. Jackson fronts the campaign, while Annie Barrett, vice president of marketing for adidas Originals, said, “The campaign celebrates the next era of the Superstar through both timeless design and cultural relevance,” adding, “Superstars never go away, they are timeless and iconic.”
