If it was worth it hype would be unnecessary, they would speak for themselves. And that goes for everything, not just shoes. The $25 special at Walmart works just as good, they can keep the stupid logo and I'll keep the other $100 either for more shoes or other things.

[MaxPower123]

I have the black one with white strips honestly I feel they were worth the money. They look good and feel comfortable all day long.

[Penelope_]

How long have you had them?

[MaxPower123]

I bought them begining of September for college and have not had any problems quality is good and comfortable.

[Rainie_]

I got a pair, the white ones get super DUPER dirty even after just one wear so one has to prepare to baby this pair and clean them a lot. Thinking of getting a black pair. The shoes work with so many outfits so personally I think its worth it.

[Penelope_]

How do you clean them?

[Rainie_]

You use bleach and a tooth brush and scrub it, in some cases you can throw the trainers in the wash but I haven't tried that yet but I probably will cause the inside gets real dirty as well after some time.

[Penelope_]

Okay thanks! I'm definitely going to try it! :)

[redeyemindtricks]

I've been wearing K-Swiss Classics for more than thirty years. Best basic shoe ever... they hold up FOREVER.

... and those are from right here in southern California, too.

[BOUNTYGUY9]

what you have been wearing the adidas shoes for 30 years the same pair lol

[nolookingbackx]

I've got them. They're comfortable, look good and are of good quality.

[Penelope_]

What colour do you have?

[nolookingbackx]

Same as the picture. I've got them for over a year.

[Penelope_]

How have they held up? Any visible damage?

[nolookingbackx]

No. They still look really good.

[Penelope_]

Ah a good quality shoe then!

[nolookingbackx]

Definitely :D my friend enjoys them too.

[Penelope_]

I've just bought my first pair! They're amazing!

[nolookingbackx]

Great! I agree, I wish I had different colors too

[Penelope_]

Yeah me too. Too expensive though. :(

[nolookingbackx]

Yeah, too expensive to have many pairs of them :( but this color is practical and looks good with everything :D

[Penelope_]

Haha ikr! They just look so clean and smart!

[nolookingbackx]

Yeah! So we don't even need another colors, they're just perfect :D I like to wear them to some dresses and skirts too, they're really practical.

[Penelope_]

Omg yes! I really loved my vans and my converse but I feel like these are way better and a lot more comfy! They look perfect with everything. :)

[nolookingbackx]

Definitely! And I've got one pair of converse too (white). I like them but I feel like they are not so good quality and superstars are obviously way better.

[Penelope_]

Do your converse get really dirty and how often do you need to clean them?

[nolookingbackx]

They get a bit dirty but I don't wear them very often, so I don't have to clean them all the time. Byt when it comes to quality and comfort, I wouldn't compare them to adidas shoes for example. And you? Your converse are white too?

[Penelope_]

Ah okay I was thinking of buying a pair of white ones but I was unsure. I have the black ones rn just because I was scared of ruining the White ones. Would you recommend them?

[nolookingbackx]

If you like converse in general you can buy them. If you don't go to really dirty places it will be ok :D I have them for a long time and after cleaning them after a long time they look like new

[Penelope_]

Aw okay thank you!

[nolookingbackx]

you're welcome :)

I haven't had a pair of Adidas since I wad like 10. However they are really popular in my school. Jordans, Nikes, and Vans are worn the most in my schools. Adidas, Pumas, and Converse, are also worn just not as often. Typically I just wear my black vans. I was never a big fan of Adidas cause they make my big feet look bulkier, but they look really nice on other people, they last a long time too, but the white ones can get dirty really fast.

[MrAtticusLebowski]

No way, they're overpriced. I used to be able to buy them for no more than $50 a few years ago. Now they're like $80. Most Adidas classic's aren't that expensive.

[Penelope_]

Haha tell me about it

[MrAtticusLebowski]

have you checked out the new color schemes? They're pretty sweet. Also, for $10 more you can design your own Superstars on the Adidas site.

[Penelope_]

Yeah they're great! I'm scared I'm going to end up ruining them though :( plus they're a little pricey.

[evelator_253]

I used to want them, but where I live, like 1/4 of the girls in my school have them and they're so overrated. So if there's a lot of people who wear those that go to your school I suggest don't get them. (unless you want to "fit in" of course)

[WhiteSteve]

I love them, I've worn them throughout my life at different points. I have a custom pair right now, white with gray stripes so they match everything. Classics, any sneaker head should own a pair👍👍

[MrOracle]

I would destroy them in a couple of weeks. And they'd look like crap in only a couple of days. I could never deal with a white shoe.

[Penelope_]

Haha there's always the black ones?

[MrOracle]

True, but we're still back to the part where they're constructed too lightly, and soles too thin, and my use would wear them out in a month. And they'd probably hurt my feet the entire time.

[Penelope_]

Oh okay. :) You've had this problem with them before?

[MrOracle]

I've had that problem with several types of shoes of similar construction.

[Penelope_]

Ah sounds annoying. :(

[redeyemindtricks]

If you get a well-made white patent leather sneaker, like YSL's Rolling high-top, you can wear them hundreds of times without them really getting discolored.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is wicked clutch. Wore my white Superstars to an outdoor concert like a month ago, and it basically looked like a cloud of dust just settled on them afterwards. Had to change the laces, but I had the sneakers like new in 10 minutes, incredible product👍👍

[Outofthegrey]

Shoes are shoes. Don't pay for a label on something "new" that will be "out of style" in a few months.

[phil2]

They were really popular when I 14, and I bought the black stripes pair. I loved them, I thought that they made me cool.

[LittleSally]

Probably not...
What really IS worth they hape these days... and worth the hard earned money...

[ChocoLada]

Hmm, Adidas sneakers are great, or at least my favorite.

[helloitsmethere]

I kinda want them tbh
A lot of people at school have them.

[Penelope_]

What colour would you want?

[helloitsmethere]

Black, I heard white stains easily.
My cousin has really nice maroon ones, they look really cool.

[Decoyyy]

they'd get so dirty so easily rip
but yea they look coolio

[Penelope_]

Have you previously had a pair?

[Decoyyy]

sorry for late reply i dont go on this a lot
and no i dont go outside

[AssJacket]

I think we all knew they aren't worth the hype right after reading the word "Adidas"

[Penelope_]

Hahaha😂😂

[Hollywood-Glam]

They look really good, so I do understand the hype.

[SuicidalTeen]

Air Jordans are life. Converse are comfortable though

[Maxemeister]

Just buy a $50 pair of shoes like I did and you'll be a-okay

[Touchmehxx]

I like them. I have a few pairs and they go with outfits good

[YouTubeAndFood]

I got fake ones cause I couldn't justify spending so much on shoes but I love them

[JerichoJared]

What about them wheelies tho?

[Penelope_]

😂😂😂😂

[Alexious]

I'm more of a Gazelle guy

[WhiteSteve]

Gazelles are fresh too. Glad the classics have stuck around, those came out the generation before me, and the'yre still here today. I like the Campus too, similar to Gazelles...
