The adidas Superstar has been reworked more times than almost any shoe alive, so it takes something with a real point of view to make one stand out. Limited EDT’s Superstar Consortium “Made in India” manages it, and it does so by treating the shell toe as a canvas for a culture rather than just another colorway.
Released through adidas Originals’ Consortium programme and limited to 350 individually numbered pairs worldwide, the shoe is one of the first Consortium entries to put Indian design at its center. A peacock motif, a nod to India’s national bird, runs across the upper, the insole, and a translucent outsole. Layered over that are intricate vine patterns pulled from traditional textiles, festive embroidery, and the ornamental detailing of centuries-old havelis. The signature shell toe stays intact, while the luxury lives in the hardware: gold lace locks and jewellery-inspired finishing.
What makes this notable is the framing. The Consortium platform has historically spotlighted boutiques and their local scenes, and handing it to Limited EDT to tell an explicitly Indian design story is a meaningful widening of whose heritage gets the premium treatment. At 350 pairs it is built to be rare, but the idea behind it is the part worth paying attention to.
