The waf. and adidas Superstar ADV collaboration has moved from a limited release at adidas’ Lagos flagship to a global launch. The shoe is available on adidas’ website and through select retailers; pricing and the full list of participating markets were not provided in the report.
Lagos-based skate collective waf. and adidas have taken their Superstar ADV collaboration global, following an initial limited release at adidas’ flagship store in Lekki, Lagos. The sneaker is now available through adidas’ website and select retailers, extending a partnership that Hypebae describes as the first adidas collaboration with a Nigerian brand.
The design draws on Lagos Island, with a dusty grey upper inspired by the area’s industrial landscape. Breathable side panels are intended to suit the city’s heat, while a translucent pink outsole references the color of the Lagos sky near the water at dusk, according to Hypebae’s report.
The global launch follows a limited Lagos release at adidas’ Lekki flagship. Hypebae reports the shoe can now be purchased on adidas’ website and at select retailers. It does not specify the price, the countries included in the rollout or which retailers are carrying the model.
Waf. is also known as Wafflesncream. The collective was co-founded in 2012 by brothers Jomi Marcus-Bello and Nifemi Marcus-Bello, alongside KC Obijiaku. Hypebae describes it as a Lagos creative community and a pioneering skate collective in West Africa.
A Lagos Skate Collaboration Goes Abroad
The wider release brings a collaboration rooted in Lagos skate culture to adidas shoppers beyond its initial local launch. It gives the collective’s design a larger retail platform while connecting the Superstar ADV—a skateboarding version of adidas’ established Superstar line—to references specific to Lagos Island.
The partnership also carries significance for representation in sneaker collaborations: Hypebae identifies it as adidas’ first collaboration with a Nigerian brand. That description is attributed to the report; the available source does not provide a separate adidas statement confirming the distinction. The global availability broadens the collaboration’s reach, though the scale of distribution and its commercial performance have not been reported.

Waf.’s Local Skateboarding Roots
The collaboration follows years of work building a skate scene in Lagos. Hypebae reports that waf. opened a skatepark at Freedom Park in 2024 and has helped organize local activities including Go Skate Day. Those efforts form the local setting for a shoe that uses details associated with the city rather than presenting the partnership as a design exercise detached from its community.
The Superstar has more than half a century of heritage, according to the report’s description of the model’s history. The ADV version adapts the familiar silhouette for skateboarding. Hypebae calls waf. the first African skate community to reimagine the Superstar ADV; that characterization should be understood as the publication’s account, not as an independently verified industry-wide finding.

Check Retailers for Local Availability
Consumers can check adidas’ website and select retailers for current availability. Because the report does not list participating markets or stock levels, shoppers may need to confirm whether the shoe is sold in their country and whether a size is available.
