Morne Joseph, better known as DJ Codax, is no stranger to the decks or the spotlight. A familiar face on the Cape Town DJ circuit, Codax has built a name for himself over 21 years of mastering the turntables, rocking dance floors across the country and spinning live on national radio.

His ability to read a crowd and deliver unforgettable sets is a direct result of his dedication to the craft—and his battle accolades back it up. With 11 first-place DJ titles, including 6x African Hip Hop Indaba wins, DMC Regional titles, and a crowning moment as the 2012 DMC South African Champion, Codax has proven he's more than just hype—he's legacy in motion.

From DJ-ing in Strand where house music was the pulse, to representing South Africa in Reunion Island and at the DMC World Finals in London, his journey is deeply rooted in hip hop culture.

It was the image of legends cutting and scratching in music videos that first lit the fire, and that same spark still fuels him today. His love for education and mentoring the next wave of DJs through his own DJ school speaks volumes of his commitment to keeping the culture alive.

That’s why Codax and the adidas Superstar II make the perfect match. The latest drop from adidas updates one of the most iconic silhouettes in sneaker history. The Superstar, known for its unmistakable shell toe and 3-Stripes, has long been a symbol of hip hop since Run DMC rocked them with no laces in the ‘80s. Now, with a bold, ’90s-inspired silhouette and fresh attitude, the Superstar II continues that legacy, paying homage to the past while pushing the culture forward.

Just like Codax—who says he's “old enough to know the classics and still young enough to drop the bangers”—this shoe straddles eras with ease. The new adidas Superstar II campaign is stacked with icons like Missy Elliott, GloRilla, Jennie, and Teezo Touchdown, narrated by the legendary Samuel L. Jackson. It’s all about energy, attitude, and authenticity—qualities Codax brings to every performance.

The adidas Superstar II is available now in-store and online at Lemkus.com
