I was scrolling through Facebook Marketplace and came across an ad for a some Adidas Superstars for €25, and then I noticed the Lego symbol on the box.
Here they are here. The outer box looks like a shoe box with the three stripes, but an additional Lego symbol.
Opening the box lid has this front cover displaying the shoes on them.
Well, I should say shoe, because there's only one inside.
I got this for a bargain, because online they go for about €60 - €80, and to get them for €25 is decent. However, in the back of my mind I'm thinking of just keeping them for myself and displaying them on a stand.
Here's the inside of the box, and as you can see the the set is slightly disassembled.
I'll be putting it back together over the coming days, and there isn't much re-assembling needed, but to be fair, I might take them apart completely and start from scratch.
They're such an unusual set, and I didn't even know they existed. I'm so glad I found the listing when I did, because this would have been sniped by someone else within a matter of minutes/ hours.
Originally I was going to give this to my mum because she's a big fan of Adidas, but she told me that since she's trying to de-clutter the house she told me to keep it.
I'll be putting this together over the next few days, and will do a post about it. I have an idea for how I want to display it, and all I actually need is a shelf to put them on. I do have a spare shelf in my bedroom, but I kind of want this to be in the office.
I may put it up online for a silly amount of money, higher than the average person, if it sells it sells, and if it doesn't I'll just hold onto it.
Lego do models of just about everything these days. They obviously do deals with various companies and media franchises. Their stuff is not cheap, but it is good quality.
Great, I think your shoes were a good investment. Your mom is very wise, she doesn't want any more messes in her house.
I love them and even more if they are made of Legos.
That's pretty crazy. I just Googled them and saw something called ultra boost, very colourful!!
I think I need some tennis shoes 😆. That Lego looks great.
