Ecosystem

Real Adidas Superstar — LEGO have done a remarkable job replicating the Adidas Superstar's shape, features and proportions. Outside of a few sharp corners and details, you can barely tell them apart from afar.

Other LEGO Adidas Sneakers (Ultraboost DNA, Red Colour Pack ZX 8000, OG LEGO x Adidas ZX 8000) — The brick-built Adidas Superstar fits right in with the other LEGO-branded Adidas sneakers in the line-up, presenting a stunning collection.

71374 Nintendo Entertainment System — LEGO has created an interesting collection of products based upon household items recently, notably including the Nintendo Entertainment System. 10282 Adidas Originals Superstar expands that selection.

21327 Typewriter — LEGO has created an interesting collection of products based upon household items recently, notably including the Typewriter. 10282 expands that selection.
