The Adidas Boston Celtics Superstar is an incredible tribute to the Celtics. On the heel, it features the stitched championship trophy silhouette, and the number 17 to represent the number of times the Celtics have taken home the championship. The team logo on the heel looks perfect, and the inner side panels Boston on the left shoe, and Celtics on the right. Lastly, World Champions 07-08 is printed on the side.  You don’t have to be a Celtics fan to appreciate the effort from Adidas on these, but you probably will have to hold back the tears if you’re a Laker fan.
