A few days ago, LEGO announced the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (10282) buildable shoe and today, they dropped the designer video for it. Designer Florian Müller talks about the details of the shoe including some new elements such as the 5×5 dome piece that will most likely be in future sets. He also goes into detail about the box which is a replica of a real shoebox.

Also almost midway through the video, LEGO has teased the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (40486) gift with purchase set. It’ll most likely be available starting in July when the shoe drops but we’ll see if you’ll actually need to purchase the shoe to get it.

LEGO has revealed the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (40486) gift with purchase set in the new designer video for the 10282 set. The set features a little shoe but with the color scheme reversed. It also includes a minifigure that wears a little printed shoebox. There’s no word yet on how to get it but details for it should be coming soon.

LEGO dropped a surprise announcement yesterday with the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (10282) which is part of their ongoing collaboration with adidas. The set has 731 pieces and will retail for $79.99. Since LEGO introduced the new 18+ designation for some sets, it may attract people that aren’t really fans of LEGO but are fans of a particular item and for this instance, shoes, aka sneakerheads.

Box

Unlike the usual LEGO boxes, the Superstar actually comes in a shoebox which is something that enhances the value of the set a little. It does come LEGO branded throughout including a minifigure head cut-out on one side of the box and the copyright on the other.

The bottom of the box shows the Superstar with its dimensions.

When you open the lid, you get the 18+ layout showing the Superstar on a black background.

When you cut open the tape, there’s another surprise as it comes with a sheet of tissue paper similar to when you buy a brand new shoe. It covers up the numbered bags and the instructions are at the bottom of the box.

The inside of the box is also decorated with the adidas logo on the flap and the bottom of the shoe on the bottom of the box.

The contents of the box include bags numbered to 7, the instruction booklet, and a small sticker for the stand.

Instructions

The front of the instructions gives some information about the adidas Superstar as well as a short statement from the design team. As … Continue
