Superstars vs Allstars

By Justina Demetry and Jalen Worstell

So let’s talk about this white sneaker trend. Which is better, Converse or Adidas?

Converse has always been a very popular shoe brand. Summer 2005, Nike bought Converse Inc.to make a redesigned, more comfortable shoe space. In 2015, Converse was selling 270,000 pairs everyday. These allstars were switched out with Nike free runs and became a huge trend and still is. They are the perfect go to shoe for any outfit and are super comfortable.

Adidas Superstars have become the latest shoe trend in 2015 and continuing into 2016. Adidas designed a shoe that is both comfortable and stylish! Adidas sold over 15 million pairs of Superstars in 2015, making it their top selling sneaker of the year.

Both shoes are unisex, making them both durable for both men and women. Customer feedback on Converse vs Adidas prefer Converse.  Adidas was rated 4/5 and are low in price but many reviews say that they are hard to style with every outfit and come in limited colors ( not as many as converse). Converse was rated 5/5 and comes in endless colors and are seen as an everyday shoe that fits anyone’s outfits.

WHS freshman Gaby Moreira says that she likes her superstars because “they go with almost every outfit but they are kind of heavy.”

Another WHS freshman Brynne O’Toole says that she likes her white allstars because “they can go with any outfit such as a flannel and jeans or a dress, they are also not flashy and don’t stand out which makes them fashionable.”

In a recent survey at Westborough High school’s Journalism period 5 and Mr. Anderson’s class period 4, 24 out of 26 people voted they liked Converse more than Superstars.

Which is better? That’s your choice to decide!
