The Superstar ADV collaboration between Lagos-based skate collective waf. and adidas has moved from a limited release at adidas’ Lagos flagship to a global launch. The shoe draws on Lagos Island for its colors and materials; adidas says it is available through its website and select retailers.
Lagos-based creative community and skate collective waf., also known as Wafflesncream, and adidas have taken their Superstar ADV collaboration global after an earlier limited release at the brand’s Lagos flagship. The launch gives international customers access to a sneaker developed with a Nigerian skate community, in a partnership Hypebae describes as adidas’ first collaboration with a Nigerian brand.
The sneaker is a reworking of adidas’ Superstar ADV silhouette, with design details inspired by Lagos Island. Hypebae reports that the upper uses a dusty grey tone drawn from the area’s industrial landscape, while breathable side panels are intended to suit the local heat. A translucent pink outsole references the color of the Lagos sky near the water at dusk, according to the report.
The collaboration was first sold in limited quantities at adidas’ flagship in Lekki, Lagos. Hypebae reports that the global release is now available through the adidas website and select retailers. The source does not provide a full retailer list, regional release schedule, pricing or stock information, so availability may vary by market.
waf. was co-founded in 2012 by brothers Jomi Marcus-Bello and Nifemi Marcus-Bello, and KC Obijiaku. The group has built a skate and creative community in Lagos, including opening a skatepark at Freedom Park in 2024 and supporting local events such as Go Skate Day, Hypebae reports.
A Lagos Skate Collaboration Reaches New Markets
The global release extends a partnership that connects adidas’ long-running Superstar line with a skate community rooted in Lagos. For waf., the launch places its work before a wider audience than the initial Lagos flagship release could reach. The collaboration also gives international shoppers a product whose design references a specific city and community, rather than presenting the sneaker as a generic colorway.
Hypebae characterizes the project as the first adidas collaboration with a Nigerian brand and the first time an African skate community reimagined the Superstar ADV. Those descriptions underline the partnership’s place in the brand’s collaboration history, though they are reported claims rather than independently documented milestones in the material provided. The worldwide availability makes the release more accessible, but its actual reach will depend on regional stock and retailer distribution.

From Lekki Release to Global Availability
The partnership follows years of community-building by waf., which has operated in Lagos since its founding in 2012. The collective’s work includes creating spaces and events for local skaters; Hypebae points to its Freedom Park skatepark, opened in 2024, and its role in organizing Go Skate Day as examples.
The first release of the adidas collaboration was limited to the company’s Lagos flagship in Lekki. The global launch changes the distribution of the same collaboration; the source does not describe a redesign or a separate second model. Hypebae frames the shoe as bringing together more than five decades of Superstar heritage and contemporary Nigerian youth culture. The product details themselves—the grey upper, breathable side panels and pink outsole—are the clearest reported links to Lagos.
““Bringing Lagos’ most popular sneaker to the world.””
