Last Friday, adidas and DMC celebrated the launch of the “My adidas” 25th Anniversary Superstar with 2 in-store appearances; one at Dr. Jay’s in Harlem and the other at the adidas Originals store in SOHO.

Fans lined the sidewalks in Harlem on Friday morning to meet the King, DMC.  Backed by a soundtrack from DJ Mick Boogie, fans greeted DMC, bought the limited edition sneaker and got their pictures taken with him.  Later that afternoon in Soho, even more fans showed up for the second event, only this time, they were treated to a special impromptu performance from Tanya Morgan, 6th Sense, Nitty Scott MC and DMC himself.

November 11 marks the highly anticipated release of the Run DMC x adidas Originals “My adidas” 25th Anniversary Superstar 80s.

The 1980s was defined by the fall of the Berlin Wall, the ascent of good hip-hop, and the prevalence of questionable fashion and dubious rock music. Michael Jackson was “Beating It” and fashion-first sneakerheads were adidas-ed down. The ’80s proved to be a crucial decade for The Brand With Three Stripes, as the adidas Stan Smith, Superstar, and Campus all remained popular cornerstones on store shelves and on peeps feet. To properly celebrate the period, the brand is releasing the aforementioned models in the exact materials and colorways they released in nearly 30 years (Yikes!) ago in the aptly named “adidas 80′s Pack.” Expect to see the shoes at your favorite adidas retailer soon.
