LEGO And adidas Are Releasing An Actual Toy Superstar

Since September 2020, LEGO and adidas have delivered a roster of classic silhouettes reimagined with color palettes, branding and detailing inspired by the Danish company’s iconic building blocks. Recently, the two European institutions have unveiled another component to their partnership via an adidas Superstar LEGO Brick Set.

Although previously-seen adidas Originals have included colored blocks as accents, none have been able to boast construction made entirely out of toy bricks. The latest product to emerge out of the aforementioned alliance isn’t meant to be worn, but it features all of the “shell-toe’s” signature details. For starters, the set takes on the sneaker’s original “Cloud White/Core Black” colorway. Shimmering “Metallic Gold” branding on the lateral profile and tongue further nod to the model’s retail version. The iconic toe-cap is recreated, but not out of durable rubber. Laces, however, are transplanted from the made-to-wear shoe, delivering yet another touch of accuracy to the special edition release. Lastly, the U.S. 7.5-sized “shoe” arrives with a display stand and plaque, collectible shoe box and 17 additional LEGO elements to create a one-of-a-kind model. Mixing in bricks from outside sets also works.
