FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While the Superstar II has roots in basketball, this particular model is best suited for casual wear and light activity due to its distressed leather finish and design focus on style over advanced athletic support.

How do I maintain the distressed leather look?

The distressed look is part of the design. For cleaning, use a damp cloth. To maintain the leather's quality, apply a leather conditioner periodically. Avoid products that aim to 'restore' color unless necessary for unintended marks.

What does 'Shadow Olive' mean for the color?

'Shadow Olive' refers to a deep, muted shade of green with brownish undertones, offering a sophisticated and earthy aesthetic for the trainers.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and maintain their appearance.

What is the material of the shell toe?

The shell toe is made of rubber, a signature feature of the Superstar line, providing durability and the iconic silhouette.

Are these trainers unisex?

While this specific listing is for a men's size, the Superstar II silhouette is often considered unisex. Please check specific product variations for available sizing.

What is the MPN for this specific model?

The manufacturer part number (MPN) for this 'Shadow Olive' variant in UK size 6 is HQ2365.

Troubleshooting

Discoloration on distressed leather

This is often an intended part of the distressed aesthetic. If it's unintended dirt, try cleaning gently with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid excessive rubbing.

Laces feel loose after wear

Re-lace the shoes, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider double-knotting the laces for added security.

Reduced grip on smooth surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. The grip is optimized for their intended use; very smooth, polished surfaces may offer less traction.

Leather feels stiff

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear and work it into the leather. Allow it to absorb, then buff gently.
