The Superstar ADV collaboration between adidas and waf., also known as Wafflesncream, has moved from a limited Lagos release to a global launch. The shoe draws on Lagos Island for its design and is listed on adidas’ website and at selected retailers; pricing and availability by market were not specified in the report.
adidas and Lagos-based skate collective waf., also known as Wafflesncream, have taken their collaborative Superstar ADV sneaker from a limited Lagos release to a global launch. The shoe is available through the adidas website and selected retailers, extending an Adidas partnership with a Nigerian brand to shoppers beyond Nigeria.
The collaboration was first released in a limited drop at adidas’ Lagos flagship in Lekki. The October report by Hypebae says the partnership has now launched globally. It does not give a full list of countries, participating retailers, prices or stock levels, so availability may vary by market.
The shoe’s design takes cues from Lagos Island. Its upper uses a dusty grey color inspired by the area’s industrial landscape, while breathable side panels are described as suited to hot conditions. A translucent pink outsole references the color of the Lagos sky near the water at dusk, according to the report.
The project uses the Superstar ADV, an adidas skateboarding version of the Superstar silhouette. Hypebae describes the partnership as adidas’ first collaboration with a Nigerian brand and waf. as the first African skate community to rework the model. Those distinctions are reported by Hypebae; adidas’ own announcement or additional documentation was not included in the supplied material.
Lagos Design Reaches Global Retail
The global release gives a collaboration rooted in Lagos skate culture a route into international sneaker retail. For readers, the immediate change is practical: a shoe previously described as a limited Lagos flagship release can now be sought through adidas’ online store and selected retailers, though the report does not confirm availability in every country.
The partnership also brings attention to waf.’s work building a local skate scene, rather than treating the sneaker only as a colorway. The group has helped organize community activity and develop skate infrastructure in Lagos. The release connects that local history with the international reach of adidas and the long-running Superstar design, while leaving questions about sales scale and broader distribution unanswered.

Waf.’s Lagos Skate Roots
Waf. was founded in 2012 by brothers Jomi Marcus-Bello and Nifemi Marcus-Bello, along with KC Obijiaku, according to Hypebae. The collective is based in Lagos and is also known as Wafflesncream. Its activity has included community events such as Go Skate Day, a local skate initiative cited in the report.
Hypebae says the collective opened a landmark skatepark at Freedom Park in 2024. The adidas partnership followed this community work and was first made available in Lagos before the global launch. The Superstar has a history spanning more than half a century, while the ADV is its skateboarding-oriented form; the collaboration places waf.’s Lagos references on that established model.
““Bringing Lagos’ most popular sneaker to the world.””

Availability and Pricing by Market
The report confirms that the sneaker is listed on the adidas website and at selected retailers, but does not identify all participating countries or stores. It also does not state the retail price, whether the global release is limited in quantity, or how much stock is available. Readers should check local adidas listings and retailer pages for current details.
The supplied source does not include direct comments from adidas or waf. about the launch, sales expectations or plans for future products. It is also not clear whether the description of this as adidas’ first collaboration with a Nigerian brand comes from the companies or Hypebae’s reporting.
Check Local Retail Listings
The next step for prospective buyers is to check the adidas website and selected local retailers for regional availability, price and sizes in stock. Because no country-by-country release schedule or inventory details were provided, listings may differ between markets.
No further release dates, restocks or follow-up products were announced in the source material. Any updates to distribution or availability would need to come from adidas, waf. or participating retailers.
