Somewhere in 1969 a basketball player laced up a
\nlow-slung leather shoe with a rubber cap over the toe, and the
\nSuperstar began a career considerably longer than
\nhis own. It passed from the court to the sidewalk, then into the
\nhands of Run-DMC, who rapped it into the canon in
\n1986 and made the shell toe a form of identification. Its newest
\ncustodian arrived from another kind of stage altogether, since
\nJENNIE of BLACKPINK has spent the
\nsummer teasing her first co-created collection with adidas
\nOriginals and has now revealed its opening argument, a
\nSuperstar taken apart and rebuilt as a ballet slipper, christened
\nthe Superstar Square Ballet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The intervention is more surgical than it first
\nappears, since the laces have vanished along with the tongue,
\nleaving a slip-on construction and a wide, foot-baring opening held
\nin place by a tonal elastic strap across the midfoot. A leather
\nribbon sits tied over the forefoot, borrowed straight from the
\nvocabulary of the pointe shoe and applied with a lightness that
\nkeeps the whole thing from tipping into costume. Underneath, the
\noutsole has been squared off and given a hybrid tread of
\nherringbone and circles, a reminder that the shoe still intends to
\nbe walked in. The branding stays discreet, with JENNIE\u2019s custom tag
\nand the Trefoil tucked onto the insole, visible
\nonly to the wearer, which is the most confident placement
\navailable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It comes in a crisp off-white and an inverted black,
\nboth resolved in premium leather with the tonal rigor of a
\nwell-edited wardrobe, and both landing on September 1. The timing
\nis immaculate, since fashion has spent the season dismantling the
\nboundary between the sneaker and the flat, sending lace-ups down
\nrunways and turning dancewear into daily uniform. This particular
\nhybrid answers the question with unusual clarity, keeping the
\nheritage silhouette recognizable while removing everything that
\nmade it feel athletic. Style it as JENNIE would, with something
\nabbreviated and high-waisted, or let it do the quiet work under
\nwide denim, where the ribbon becomes the only detail anyone
\nnotices. The result belongs to that rare category of collaboration
\nin which the celebrity name explains nothing, and the shoe explains
\nitself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo by LEE JEONG MU\/Imazins via Getty Images Somewhere in 1969 a basketball player laced up a low-slung…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21254],"tags":[189,21290,2757,48885,57642,54545,34782,57643,57644,1642],"class_list":["post-78629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-adidas","tag-a","tag-adidas","tag-as","tag-ballet","tag-blackpinks","tag-jennie","tag-just","tag-reinvented","tag-superstar","tag-the"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
