FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The Superstar II are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for comfort and style in everyday wear. While they have heritage roots in basketball, they are not optimized for high-performance athletic activities.
How do I clean the nubuck leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For scuffs or deeper dirt, a specialized nubuck brush and cleaner are recommended. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.
What is the difference between Superstar II and other Superstar models?
The Superstar II is a specific iteration that brings heritage styling with modern comfort features, often utilizing materials like nubuck leather. Other Superstar models may vary in materials, specific design details, or collaborations.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some traction, the nubuck leather upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, or to treat them with a waterproofing spray.
What does 'Regular fit' mean?
'Regular fit' indicates a standard width and volume designed to accommodate most adult foot shapes comfortably. It is not specifically narrow or wide.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For tightness, loosen the laces. For looseness, tighten them securely. Ensure you are using the correct shoe size.
Nubuck leather showing scuffs or marks
Gently brush the affected area with a nubuck brush. For persistent marks, use a specialized nubuck cleaner following product instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Outer sole appears dirty
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.
