In the ever-evolving rhythm of street culture, some silhouettes never miss a beat. The adidas Originals Superstar II made its long-anticipated debut earlier this year, and to celebrate, together with our friends at adidas, we pulled off a launch that was as much about cultural currency as it was about iconic design.

We curated an exclusive space in the heart of Berlin Mitte - urban, sharp-edged, and unmistakably authentic. The highlight of the evening: a live performance by Souly, the rising German rapper known for his genre-blurring sound and poetic precision. As a voice of the new wave in German hip-hop, Souly brought raw energy to the crowd, his set elevated by a deep, immersive Funktion-One sound installation that made each bar hit deeper.

Inside, adidas' legacy came to life with a specially designed 3-Stripes brand campaign installation, bridging the past with the now. The atmosphere was electric, undeniably cool. The crowd showed up in full force - every inch of the space was buzzing with energy. From the moment the doors opened, you could feel the pulse of the community. With local selectors like Haaizey and Moneyama on deck, the soundtrack of the night was an eclectic blend of future beats and nostalgic basslines. Cold drinks from Noam Beer flowed, and the Berlin weather - surprisingly on our side - made for a perfect evening of music, community, and style.

The Superstar II stands as a refined evolution of the classic, retaining its cultural gravitas while stepping confidently into modern streetwear sensibility. It's available now at solebox.com and in all solebox stores. If this launch was any indication, the Superstar isn't just back - it never really left.
