Earlier this year, Lego and Adidas teamed

up to make some customisable Ultraboost

running shoes, with three Lego stripes on

each one and a selection of flat bricks that

allowed you to give your kicks a unique

look. The problem was they still felt more

like trainers than Lego... but this Superstar

is the other way around.

Instead of a foot-hugging Primeknit upper

and responsive Boost midsole, you get a

fully buildable Lego shoe. The final object is

27cm long and neatly mimics the original

sneaker’s timeless form and design, with

the trademark shell toe, heel tab and

requisite three stripes. You even get laces

to complete the effect.

But do you get a right or left shoe? You

decide, by way of 17 extra elements in the

box that can be used to switch between

the two. Alternatively, buy a couple of the

731-piece sets and make one of each. Just

don’t in a moment of madness try putting

them on. Stepping barefoot on a Lego brick

is bad enough; you’d need to be a total

masochist to head out wearing entirely

brick-built footwear.

As hot as... plastic underpants

Your Superstar comes with

a display stand, so you can

show it off like you live in a

shoe shop – or sneak it in

with your real trainers and

make them wonder

what’s going on.

Frou-frou boxes

Rather than the usual Lego

box that normal kits live in,

your Lego Adidas Originals

Superstar comes in its own

shoebox. Just try not

to throw it in the

recycling.
