FAQs
What makes the 'Vintage Bape' version unique?
The 'Vintage Bape' version stands out due to its collaboration with BAPE, featuring the distinctive BAPE camouflage pattern on the iconic adidas three stripes, and an off-white vintage-inspired midsole.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
While the Superstar silhouette has roots in basketball, these collaborative trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear, not high-impact sports.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. This guide specifies the UK 11.5 size, but it's always recommended to check measurements or try them on if possible.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
What is the difference between this and a standard Superstar?
The main differences are the BAPE camouflage detailing, the co-branding on the heel, and the vintage-inspired off-white midsole, distinguishing it from the standard adidas Superstar model.
How durable is the leather upper?
The leather upper is designed for durability with proper care. Regular cleaning and conditioning will help maintain its quality and prevent premature wear.
Is the BAPE camouflage pattern applied consistently across all pairs?
Due to the nature of patterned materials, the exact placement and appearance of the camouflage may vary slightly between individual pairs, adding to their uniqueness.
Troubleshooting
Stains on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth. Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Discoloration of the vintage midsole
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For stubborn yellowing, specialized midsole cleaners might be considered, but use with caution.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with new ones of a similar material and length. Keep spare laces on hand.
Creasing on the leather upper
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning the Midsole: Gently clean the off-white vintage midsole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush and mild soap solution to clean the rubber outsole. Ensure all soap residue is removed.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and light.
