The Superstar by Mark Gonzales is an adidas Skateboarding MasterpieceRelease: 25 April 2020
Mark Gonzales is rather multifaceted. One part street skate OG, another part conceptual artist on four wheels, whatever 'The Gonz' does evokes wonder and dropped jaws of ‘he did what!?’ Continuing his long-standing relationship with adidas Skateboarding, he's come through with a masterful rework of the half-century young Superstar.
The classic Shelltoe meets Stan Smith via stripe substitution instead of perforations, maintaining adi’s expected clean-AF OG palettes. Furthermore, Gonzales’ cartoon Shmoo makes a guest appearance as nubuck hits on the stark white leather upper. Compared to previous releases that referenced fencing suits and hand-drawn graphics, this one’s a low-key skate shredder.
With the drop hitting on April 25, there's no better time to support your local skate store, so check in with them to find out stock levels. In the meantime, here’s where in the APAC region you can cop the Superstar by Mark Gonzales.
