FAQs
What is the main material of these trainers?
The main upper material of these trainers is premium suede, complemented by a rubber shell toe and outsole.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Clean the suede using a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid water on the suede material.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and streetwear. While they offer comfort and durability, they do not possess advanced performance features for rigorous athletic activities.
What inspired the chunkier shell toe design?
The chunkier shell toe is a modern update inspired by retro 2000s fashion trends, adding a bolder, contemporary edge to the classic design.
What is the difference between Superstar and Superstar ST?
The 'ST' designation typically refers to specific design updates or variations within the Superstar line. In this case, the 'ST' model features the updated, chunkier shell toe and a premium suede upper.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather, as water can damage the material and cause staining. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What other sizes are available?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner according to the product's instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water directly on suede.
Shoe feels slightly tight.
Wear the shoes with medium-thick socks for a short period to allow the material to naturally stretch. If the tightness is significant, consider using shoe stretchers designed for suede.
Rubber shell toe or midsole is scuffed.
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent scuffs on the rubber, a magic eraser can be carefully used, but test on a small area first to avoid damaging the material.
Laces are worn or dirty.
Clean laces by hand-washing them with mild detergent and water, then air dry. Replacement laces can be purchased from shoe care retailers.
