Imagine trying to come at skatan about adidas .
Maybe you haven’t been here long enough but the dude is a talented ass shoe designer who knows his shit . I actually have a pair of shoes he designed and we talk pretty regular about shoe production and stuff . The man is serious about his craft and educates everyone he talks to about it in a way that makes you feel like you too work at Adidas . Which clearly this other dude doesn’t.
I can't just post here internal info about it cause "common sense" but that would shut him down pretty quick.
It does get me really triggered when people keep insisting on stuff I'm 100 sure about. I wasn't even trying to drop the "trust me bro, I work at Adidas" card, cause I think it's wack, but well, it seems that not even that is enough for him.
I just need to learn to not argue with hard headed people, but I always do. Oh well...
Right cause u have access to every single batch of shoes that has ever been made by the company, that doesn’t make sense to me seeing that there are thousands of batches of shoes being produced. You know how I know ur full of shit? The ADV says it’s made in Indonesia and the original says it’s made in Vietnam. Two different factories, so yeah your magic work computer at home is not correct.
I’m not being subjective, I’m actually using the product and asking people around me to see what they think. But if u want to just say your right but the tags on the shoes don’t lie, they come from different places
Dude, You're absolutely fucking stupid. So you think that 1 single factory can produce 10+ million pairs of superstars a season or wtvr it is that Adidas makes?! it's the biggest selling shoe from the company. That would be humanly possible and not even smart in case of something going wrong. it's production its spread from all over Asia, but
the molds used are the same, the compounds are the same! It comes from the same suppliers. Just because the shoe says "made in Vietnam" or "made in China" doesn't mean that all the components were made there, the supply chain is huge and international. Fucking Prada Superstar is made in Italy with expensive ass Italian Leather but the tooling comes from Indonesia, the same one used in Blondey' Superstars, just as an example.
And actually, side note, those 2 use the only other version of the superstar outsole still in production, the "superstar 80s" which is slimmer, pointier and has a heavier texture to it to look more "vintage' than the regular one used in all the other models, like the ADV, the Pro Model, the Laceless, or the Kader one too!! (yes, I checked it too).
Do you even know what PDM is? That's the magical internal system in my wizard MacBook that keeps track of all the components, suppliers, densities, compounds, etc... Employees use it to have factual information when producing footwear, you know, like any other Multi million dollar company has.
So as I already pointed out, your different experience with both shoes doesn't come form the outsole, it comes from all the other factors in the upper that I already pointed out. A shoe can feel a lot more flexible when you have different padding, different leather/suede, different lining, etc... That or you just have some defective shoes or old ass superstars, like the Superstar RT, that use an older version of the tooling.
To conclude: Thanks for asking those reliable experts around you, like that really informative youtube video of Ted Degros, but you have no clue of what you're talking about, never worked in the business, never seen a fucking tech pack in your life, etc... I would say just take the L but the L is on me for wasting my time with you. What an absolute moron, Jesus.
