Product Information

Full details

The Melting Sadness x adidas Superstar is designed for fashion-forward adults who value a creative twist on the legendary adidas shell-toe silhouette. This collaboration offers a distinct, playful aesthetic that stands out in daily casual wear, providing a unique personality to a classic trainer design. A key caveat to consider is that the artistic detailing and specific design elements may require more careful maintenance than standard, plain leather Superstars to preserve their unique finish.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow the standard adidas Superstar sizing fit for UK sizes.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the unique artistic details. Hand cleaning is recommended.

What is the primary material used?

These trainers are primarily constructed with leather.

Are these suitable for sports?

While durable, these are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance athletic shoes.

How do I ensure the colour stays vibrant?

Keep the shoes out of prolonged direct sunlight to prevent potential colour fading over time.

Can these be worn in wet weather?

While leather is naturally resistant, it is best to apply a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect them from rain.

Troubleshooting

Outer material showing scuffs

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth to gently buff out surface marks.

Creasing at the forefoot

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creasing.

Dirt on the rubber shell toe

Use a melamine sponge or mild soap and water to gently wipe the rubber surface clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these shoes are crafted from leather and specialized materials, proper care is essential to maintain their aesthetic. To keep them looking fresh, remove surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water. To maintain shape, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Ensure your foot size is correctly measured against the UK sizing standard to ensure the best fit before purchase.
