Is this an Adidas GWP?
Posted by Huw,
The designer video for 10282 Adidas Originals Superstar was published yesterday and this miniature Adidas shoe with a branded minifigure can be seen at various times throughout it.
Other sites are reporting that it's set number 40486 and if so I think it's safe to assume that it will be a gift with purchase with the larger trainer when it's released on July 1st.

Much prefer this to the large scale shoe.

I was kinda thinking that myself too.
Hope this is also sold separately. To me is so much more attractive than the big one.
T minutes ~ 12 days, 15 hours until LEGO site crashes again.
I don't even like shoes and that's awesome.
This looks kind of cute and adorable, I think the shoe works a lot better at this size.
It's a joke is what is it.
Now this is actually a very cute display piece
Love they have brought back the Brick Suit piece for his torso, as said previously much better than the actual set but not enough to make it me get it.
Now that I would buy. I would even get a pair!
Why is nobody talking about that weird minifigure? Is that design like the Series 18 Brick Suit Guy, or is it a new piece?
It's going to be cancelled - mark my words

Looks like Brick Suit Guy with a 2x4 printed tile on the front.
Edit: correction - more like a stickered 2x4 tile
So, If I buy this to get the GWP, then return the set to Lego, they just take some VIP points off my account, right?
Definitely a GwP.
There’s a box design leaked online and sticker sheet for it too.
So much better than the big Adidas shoe. I would buy this like a shot - it’s small and fun.
I simply don’t need a shoe-sized Lego shoe, so won’t be buying the main set.
I just want the minfig!

Almost there…
Its hilarious how it looks better than main model xD
So much better than the bigger shoe.
Wouldn't get the big clunker, but I'd love to get one of these.
Great backdrop for the Run DMC figs!
I wonder if the minifig is beatboxing :'D
Is that a white Super Mario plate forming the base of the front?
Ulysses fiasco redux in 3... 2...

It's advertising, marketing into that sneaker-head, sports clothing market.
They are already doing Levi clothing, an Adidas Lego sneaker (not the brick built but they have an actual sneaker with Lego styling on it), all marketed to kids, teens to young adults.
Get's those who don't normally buy Lego to now notice, actually have a building set in their market to check out and sway them to buy Lego sets.
THIS is the set I want!!!!
Long live the standard grin minifig head!
Oh lego… your still trying to get us to buy 2 sets so we get both shoes… i know your trick ;)
Speaking of promotional goodies that run out quickly, any word yet on whether they might reissue the final coin from the recent set, as that went as quickly as the Space one?
I managed to get all four of the theme logo coins plus the 5-coin case, and then missed the last piece to complete the set by hours.

LEGO had Adidas brand in their Sports sets even back in 2000, the stadium even had 4 Adidas billboard stickers and an Adidas printed ball.
3409 : Championship Challenge
Another smaller set had Zidane with Adidas branded printing on both torso and leg.
3401-2 : Shoot 'n' Score (Zidane Edition)
So a partnership between LEGO and Adidas isn't new.
Also Euro 2020 is currently going and quite a few national teams use adidas branded shirts and the official Ball is by Adidas as well.
Another reason could be that the Superstar shoe was 50 years in 2020, maybe this was delayed to coincide with the extra Adidas marketing on Euro 2020 which was delayed for a year.
Is this the only time where the GWP is better than the actual set?
I would absolutely buy this set. I'd buy it in multiple colors. I wish there was a way to buy GWP sets other than from people on Ebay or Facebook Marketplace for inflated prices!

Brick suit guy is 2x3 for info… Just sayin :-D
Wow, I came here to see how many other readers prefer this to the main set, and I am not disappointed!
Interesting… but I’ll wager they missed the recursion opportunity of true greatness by including a cheese slope with the Adidas stripes on the sides. Shoes! All the way down…

On May 17, Lego said all 5 coins would "be back later in the year". That's all we know. It likely takes several months to produce a rerun of promo gear and get it distributed.
Aww, it looks like a little baby shoe! So cute!
I wonder if the stickers are clear-backed so you can build it in other colors, if you so choose.
