FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While inspired by athletic heritage, the Superstar II trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. They offer comfort for walking but are not specialized for high-impact sports.

What material is the animal pattern made of?

The trainers feature leather uppers with a printed or embossed animal pattern. The specific method may vary by production run, but the base material is leather.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, glue, and overall structure of the shoe.

Do these trainers come in other colors or patterns?

The adidas Originals Superstar II line has many variations. This specific model is the Animal pattern in Black. Other colorways and patterns may be available separately.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a little space at the toe, your heel doesn't slip excessively, and the width feels comfortable. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are slightly larger, can help ensure a good fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Wear the shoes with thicker socks around the house for a short period to gently stretch the leather. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if a larger size is needed.

Leather creases appear quickly

Creasing is natural for leather. To minimize deep creases, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Tread on outsole is wearing down

This is normal wear and tear. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential outsole repair or replacement options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather uppers with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for black leather.
  2. Lining: Use a specialized shoe cleaner or a damp cloth for the interior lining, ensuring it is not overly saturated.
  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap to remove dirt and restore its appearance.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
  5. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray suitable for black leather to guard against water and stains.
