Blondey McCoy x adidas Superstar « Starlight Blue »

The celebration of the 50th anniversary of the cult silhouette, the adidas Superstar, continues with an iteration designed with skateboard artist Blondey McCoy. For this new collaboration, called « Starlight Blue », the founder of the lifestyle label THAMES chose an eye-catching design and vegan materials.

British skateboarder Thomas Eblen, better known as Blondey McCoy, turned professional with adidas at a very young age and skated for the cult Palace skateboard brand. In 2012, with the help of Palace’s founders Lev Tanju and Gareth Skewis, Blondey launched her own brand called THAMES. He was 15 years old and was already artistic director. Which seems logical, since Blondey has been passionate about art, drawing and collage since his early childhood. His products are inspired by London iconography, British kitsch and various other trends that sometimes go against the tide. Blondey was also chosen by Kate Moss to model for Burberry. At 23 years old, already a great career path !

After a completely transparent Superstar released a year ago, the shoe presented today is still adorned with a translucent TPE upper, but tinted with glacier blue. Touches of black, such as the emblematic 3 side stripes, the heel tab and the rubber toe box, add cachet to the pair. The tongue also comes in glacier blue with a traditional adidas white and blue branding badge, while the Trefoil logo appears in white on the heel. The gold BLONDEY name replaces the legendary SUPERSTAR on the quarter panel. To add a touch of contrast, the laces are bright red. The whole is based on a totally black sole, harmonizing the design.

The adidas Blondey McCoy x adidas Superstar « Starlight Blue » will be released on January 16, 2021 on adidas.com for 130€ and in sizesrun UK 4 to UK 13.5. An exclusive pre-launch has been set up via a raffle on the THAMES store website https://thamesmmxx.com/products/blondey-x-adidas-superstar-starlight-blue. Good luck !
