FAQs
What is the primary material of the Superstar II trainers?
The primary material for the upper of the adidas Originals Superstar II trainers is leather.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While the Superstar II has roots in basketball, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and streetwear footwear. They are not recommended for high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean the signature shell toe?
The rubber shell toe can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.
What is the fit like?
These trainers have a regular fit, designed for standard adult foot shapes. Laces allow for adjustment.
What does 'updated proportions' mean?
It refers to design adjustments in this edition that incorporate elements and silhouettes popular in the 90s, offering a slightly different aesthetic compared to the original 70s/80s Superstar models.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer and consider trying them on if possible. The UK size 9.5 is listed for this specific variant.

While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a leather protectant spray can help.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes happen with new leather shoes. Try loosening the laces slightly or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or cream to moisturize the leather. Follow product instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with a new pair of a similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.
Sole becoming detached
For minor detachments, a strong adhesive designed for footwear may provide a temporary fix. For significant separation, professional repair or replacement might be necessary.
