Now, entering its sixth decade on the market, the Superstar’s look is still as clean and crisp as it has ever been. It has outlasted trends, outlived many a flash in the pan, remained a top seller, and is still an important cultural signifier — an extremely versatile one at that. No matter if you’re rocking it with some stiff selvedge denim or using it to add a little alternate flair to your standard suit-and-tie ensemble, it just flat-out works, and that’s the mark of a truly timeless design.
Although there’s a veritable plethora of colorways to choose from, three versions of this Three Stripes classic stand head and shoulders above the rest: white/black, the inverse black/white, and the masterfully menacing black/black. Looking to keep things clean and crisp? Reach for the white/black. It presents a timeless look and adds a tasteful amount of splendor with its gold midfoot stamp and tongue badge. You’d rather be a touch more subtle? Snag a black/white pair without having to sacrifice those appealing gold accents. And if your sartorial motives are moving towards monochromatic, you’re covered with the all-black pair. All three can be found at retailers like Finish Line, so an extensive hunt isn’t necessary either. Who said finding a shoe that can complete any ensemble has to be difficult?
