FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

While they feature the Adistar Control 5 silhouette, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. They are best suited for walking and casual wear rather than high-performance running.

Does this model come in other sizes?

Yes, this collaboration is available in a variety of UK adult sizes, ranging from 4 to 12 in various fits.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the delicate textile materials and the structural integrity of the midsole.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is constructed from a lightweight, breathable textile material designed for comfort.

Is the design unisex?

The Adistar Control 5 series includes both male and unisex sizing options. Please check the specific product listing to ensure the fit is appropriate for your needs.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the textile upper

Gently use a soft brush or a dry cloth to lift debris; avoid scrubbing aggressively to prevent material fraying.

Soles feeling less responsive over time

This is common with EVA foam; rotate your shoes with other pairs to allow the cushioning material to decompress and recover its shape.

Creasing in the toe box

Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its original shape and minimize permanent creasing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive collaboration design appealing to collectors and fans
  • Lightweight textile upper offers superior breathability
  • EVA midsole provides durable, all-day comfort
  • Versatile style suitable for city strolling and casual outings

Cons

  • Limited-edition availability may make replacements difficult
  • Primarily designed for casual wear rather than intense athletic training
  • Green colorway requires specific coordination with outfits

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are designed for standard adult foot sizes, with this specific model being a UK size 8. To ensure the longevity of the textile upper and the integrity of the cushioning, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the textile surface. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Stain Removal: For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, dabbing the affected area gently.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the iconic green Rayquaza-inspired finish.
  4. Air Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Never place them in a dryer, as the heat can compromise the adhesive and the EVA midsole structure.
