Which logo appears on the tongue and heel of many adidas Superstar sneakers?

The story behind the answer

The Trefoil logo appears on the tongue and heel of many adidas Superstar sneakers.

The adidas Superstar began as a low-top basketball shoe and became one of the company’s most recognizable lifestyle models. Its shell toe, leather upper and three side stripes made the design easy to identify.

The Trefoil became adidas’s principal logo for many lifestyle and Originals products. It differs from the three-bar performance mark used prominently on much of adidas’s modern athletic equipment.

The Superstar also became strongly associated with hip-hop and streetwear after Run-DMC wore the shoe and helped popularize it in the 1980s. The shoe’s sports origin and later music connection are both important parts of its cultural history.
