RIP SLYME and adidas Originals Collaborate Again!

In an exciting reunion after 16 years, RIP SLYME has teamed up with adidas Originals for the launch of the exclusive 'SUPERSTAR II' model at ABC-MART. This collaboration is set to kick off on October 16, 2025, with a new visual campaign and video that will be available in all ABC-MART stores across Japan and the official online store. To commemorate the launch, customers purchasing select products will receive a limited edition sticker pack, available while supplies last.

The Stylish 'SUPERSTAR II' Design

This iconic sneaker will be available in two unique styles that blend timeless and contemporary elements. The first design features smooth leather, showcasing classic black and white with elegant silver and gold stripes for a touch of luxury. The second style utilizes lush green and traditional wheat-colored suede, perfectly capturing seasonal vibes and street style. Each variant comes equipped with a distinctive translucent rubber outsole, proudly displaying the graffiti-inspired graphics of 'TOKYO' and 'adidas', echoing the essence of street culture.

With these designs, the collaboration with RIP SLYME breathes new life into the 'SUPERSTAR II', blending classic appeal with a pop aesthetic that resonates with fans old and new.

Celebrating 16 Years with RIP SLYME

This marks RIP SLYME’s return to the adidas Originals sneaker campaign since 2009. As the faces of the exclusive 'SUPERSTAR II', the group showcases their distinctive flair by dressing in a dapper ensemble of butterfly ties and white shirts, celebrating their renewed partnership with a fresh yet elegant touch. Their campaign video features DJ FUMIYA and the ensemble creating a vibrant atmosphere, swaying in rhythm while donning the 'SUPERSTAR II'. As a nostalgic nod, it includes striking archival artwork that reminisces about the group's rich history, offering fans a delightful treasure hunt within the visuals.

Insights from the Artists

In a recent interview with the band, they reflected on their reunion after about eight years apart. ILMARI expressed that it felt less like a reunion and more like returning home, capturing an atmosphere of familiarity that made the collaboration feel seamless. FUMIYA commented on the chic antique setting for their photo shoot, appreciating how it framed the classic tracksuits and sneakers beautifully.

RYO-Z emphasized the connection between adidas and their music, highlighting the brand's significance to their artistic journey: "It’s an honor to wear such wonderful items while collaborating once again."

SU recounted how wearing the 'SUPERSTAR' gives him a sense of security, while PES, recalling his skateboarding days, noted he always loved wearing the iconic sneaker during his sport.

Limited Edition Sticker Campaign

As an added bonus for sneaker fans, those who purchase the 'SUPERSTAR II' will receive a limited-edition sticker pack while supplies last. This pack features the same 'TOKYO' and 'adidas' graphics showcased on the sneaker’s outsole, available in three colors—black, white, and RIP SLYME orange—totaling six unique stickers to commemorate this special launch.
