FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Adistar Control 5 MJ?

The design is heavily influenced by a classic 20th-century shoe, specifically mimicking the renascent Mary Jane style with clear Y2K aesthetic elements.

What technology is used for cushioning?

These trainers feature Adiprene cushioning, which is designed to provide responsive comfort and impact absorption.

How does the shoe provide stability?

Stability is enhanced by the brand's flagship 3D Torsion system, which supports the midfoot.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer good cushioning and support for casual wear, they are not specifically designed as running shoes. They are best suited for everyday activities and light walking.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from porous grey mesh with synthetic overlays for a deconstructed look.

What is the closure mechanism?

The trainers feature a distinctive zig-zag strap utility for a secure and adjustable closure.

What are the primary colors of this model?

This model features a grey colour family with silver secondary colour accents.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect.

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure the strap is adjusted correctly for a snug fit without being too tight.

Cushioning feels stiff initially.

This is normal for new footwear. Wear the trainers for short periods to allow the Adiprene cushioning to adapt to your foot shape.

Strap closure is not secure.

Ensure the zig-zag strap is firmly pressed down. If the Velcro loses its grip over time, consult care instructions for cleaning the hook-and-loop fasteners.

Color transfer from grey mesh.

Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics, especially when wet. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique, retro-inspired design with modern updates.
  • Comfortable cushioning thanks to Adiprene technology.
  • Secure and adjustable fit with the zig-zag strap.
  • Good grip and stability from the Torsion system and rubber outsole.
  • Versatile grey and silver color scheme.

Cons

  • The distinctive Y2K style may not appeal to everyone.
  • Primarily designed for women, limiting unisex appeal.
  • Mesh upper might offer less protection in wet conditions.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult female wear. They pair well with casual outfits like jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear. Not intended for professional athletic performance.

Care:

  • Clean the mesh and synthetic upper with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
  • Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  • Allow trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • For the rubber outsole, a damp cloth can be used for cleaning.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
