FAQs
Are these suitable for playing basketball?
While the Superstar II has basketball heritage, they are designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday wear and urban use, not for professional or intense athletic performance.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of premium leather.
How do I clean the signature shell toe?
You can clean the rubber shell toe with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
Do these trainers come in different colors?
This guide specifically covers the Ftw White colorway. Other color options may be available separately.
What is the fit like?
The trainers feature a regular fit. It is recommended to consult a size guide or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
How should I store my Superstar II trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuffs easily
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a leather protector spray for future prevention.
Discomfort during initial wear
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are adjusted properly.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution and ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
