adidas’ foray into basketball started with the 1965 Supergrip, a style that inspired the iconic 1969 Superstar, a shoe that is considered to be the first professional low-top made with a leather upper. Silhouettes like the Nizza and Tournament built on adidas’ court credibility, while the ‘90s ushered in adidas’ Feet You Wear technology, which was worn by Kobe Bryant. Presently, names like James Harden and Anthony Edwards drive adidas’ basketball division.
