ADIDAS SUPERSTAR 82, A BRIEF HISTORY OF TEENAGE DOOM’S LEGACY

Let’s not act like mall goths weren’t a thing. Whether you lived it or just watched from the sidelines, their imprint is undeniable—born from nu-metal’s chaos and goth culture’s commercial shadow. Their uniform? A clash of rebellion and mass production. Their stomping grounds? Chain stores, flickering fluorescents, suburban malls. And always, Adidas Superstar.

We’re channeling that energy with photographer Brandon Bowen—his lens, sharpened on icons like Marilyn Manson, strikes the perfect balance of eerie and magnetic. Across billboards in Milan the Superstar reclaims its place, bridging nu-metal’s DIY grit with today’s opium-core minimalism.

Not just nostalgia. A subcultural echo that refuses to fade. Then, now, always—at Slam Jam.
