These use a leater make-up for the upper, with white as the base. Green interjects on the toe, midsole, ankle and other areas, while black appears in an equal amount as well. Of course, the classic Pump bubble is orange over a black tongue.

adidas Superstar for Pete Eldridge

adidas Superstar for Pete Eldridge

There’s something about the adidas Superstar that can’t be described with words. For whatever reason, it has survived the test of time, as it’s covered the feet of the B-boys of old and also today’s biggest skateboarders. For Pete Eldridge, his “SE” (Skater exclusive) keeps things old school, while adding in the benefits of an update.

White leather is used for the construction of the upper, with the exception of the stripes, which are done in black. Gold foil text is used for all the labels, including those on the upper and tongue. The show itself was actually slimmed down for added board feel. The toe cap and sole may look like these have been sitting in the closet for years, but the chalk color was intentional, adding an element of nostalgia.
