Hi all, after a long time searching for NOS or even used sneakers like Starsky wore (found nothing) I finally found a retro new shoe by Adidas called "Dragon" they are the same except for the part around the laces which on these is blue rather than white... but hey its as close as I can find...
they can be ordered from shopadidas.com for $65.00.

They also have the SL72 Vintage that is very similar as well. It too has the blue tongue & string hole surround instead of them being white like Starsky's (tv & movie). Really, really close to the original version from the good ole days. Maybe some day they'll do it again with the white tongue & surround!
Here's a link....

from what Ive read the ones Starsky wore were the SL72... but back then there was more choices of color... I bought the Dragons and when Im wearing them with my bell bottoms and Starsky sweater I end up walking like him... its hilarious when I go to the grocery store and climb out of the car dressed like that it sure does turn some heads

Starsky wore Adidas SL76. Adidas re-released them back in 2004 to coincide with the movie. The actual box says something like S&H or Starsky. I have a pair in the trunk of my car. I will get a pic and post it when I get a chance.
They do come up on ebay but are quite pricey.
I contacted Adidas some time ago to try and get my hands some dead stock but they said they didn't have any and they weren't planning on re-releasing them again. Perhaps if enough people wanted them then it might make them rethink.....

OOPS, I stand corrected, Starsky's SL72's had a blue tongue...... He had to have worn the SL72's because this is a first season promo shot which would have been in 1975... a year before the SL76's were released (for the '76 Olympics). In 2004 Adidas had 2 re-releases on these shoes the; SL72 Originals, the white stripes extend directly to the sole and there is NO SUEDE on the side (this re-release had a different sole than the originals) SL76SH as worn by Stiller in the movie (they had the correct sole) I have each of these shoes and I will take a couple pics and post a bit later.... ------------- TV 2M8O OUT JOE 1976 Gran Torino S&H season 2-4 Clone Project Blog: http://tv2m8o.blogspot.com/ |

OK, here are the pics I promised.... SL72 ORIGINALS   SL72SH   The SL72 ORIGINALS have a nice padded blue tongue and white interior, the stripes go to the sole and there is less suede along the sole. The SL72SH has a blue rubber tongue and blue interior and the stripes run below the suede along the sole. Good luck in your search... They do pop up from time to time on eBay! ------------- TV 2M8O OUT JOE 1976 Gran Torino S&H season 2-4 Clone Project Blog: http://tv2m8o.blogspot.com/ |
