adidas Originals Superstar - White - UK 13

These adidas Originals Superstar shoes are primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe, offering comfort and style for everyday activities and play. While they provide good traction and durability for general use, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance sports.

The upper part of the shoe is made from a combination of synthetic and coated leather, offering a classic look and durability. The lining is textile, and the sole is rubber.

The product is a UK size 13 for children. It features a regular fit and lace closure for adjustment. We recommend measuring your child's foot and referring to an adidas size guide for children to ensure the best fit.

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure. Please follow the care instructions provided for spot cleaning and air drying.

The Superstar shoe gained its iconic status from its origins in 70s basketball courts and its later adoption by hip-hop culture in the 80s. Key features like the rubber shell toe, serrated 3-Stripes, and distinctive branding have made it a timeless street and sportswear design.

The signature rubber shell toe provides a measure of protection for the front of the foot against minor bumps and scuffs, in addition to contributing to the shoe's iconic look.

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. For children's shoes, growth spurts can change sizing quickly. Check if the current size is still appropriate for their foot length and width.

Clean promptly with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for coated leather can be used sparingly. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

Ensure the laces are tied securely with a double knot. If the laces are old or worn, consider replacing them for better grip and security.

Use a brush and a solution of mild soap and water to scrub the rubber outsole. For stubborn stains, baking soda paste can be applied, left for a few minutes, then scrubbed and rinsed.

Remove insoles (if removable) and air out shoes. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure socks are worn and changed regularly.
