FAQs
What makes these trainers a 'Superstar II' model?
The 'Superstar II' designation typically refers to updated or special editions of the iconic adidas Superstar silhouette, often featuring refined details or new material applications, like this collaboration model.
Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball culture and featuring a design suitable for court-like grip, these trainers are primarily intended for casual wear and style. They are not designed as performance footwear for competitive basketball.
How do I clean the crocodile print patent leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface clean. For tougher marks, a cleaner specifically designed for patent leather can be used sparingly.

This collaboration marks a partnership with NBA player Anthony Edwards, integrating his style and influence into the design of the classic adidas Superstar silhouette.
Can I replace the custom lace fobs?
The custom lace fobs are part of the unique design. They can be removed if desired, but replacements may not be readily available.
How should I store these trainers to maintain their appearance?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help prevent dust and damage.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is constructed from 'Night Indigo' crocodile print patent leather.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on patent leather
Minor creasing is natural with patent leather. Avoid excessive flexing of the shoe and store properly. For light scuffs, a specialized patent leather cleaner might help.
Lace fobs become loose
Gently re-attach the lace fob to the laces. If the fob itself is damaged, it can be removed.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole offers grip, caution is advised on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean of debris.
Discoloration of silver accents
Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Clean silver accents gently with a soft, dry cloth.
