FAQs

How do I best clean the different materials on these sneakers?

For general cleaning, brush off loose dirt. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner. For nubuck, use a specialized brush or eraser. For mesh, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. Always air dry completely and avoid harsh chemicals.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or other athletic activities?

No, while they feature `adiPRENE+` cushioning for comfort, these adidas x SFTM Adistar Cushion sneakers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-performance athletic activities like running or intensive sports.

What is `adiPRENE+` cushioning?

`adiPRENE+` is an advanced adidas cushioning technology designed to provide superior shock absorption in the forefoot and promote a more energetic, responsive push-off, ensuring enhanced comfort and reduced fatigue throughout the day.

Are these sneakers true to size?

Adidas sneakers generally run true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size for a comfortable fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up. This specific variant is Size UK 4.

What makes the 'Song For The Mute' collaboration special?

The collaboration with Song For The Mute (SFTM) brings a unique, avant-garde design sensibility to the classic Adistar silhouette. This partnership often results in distinctive material combinations, layered constructions, and subtle branding details that set these sneakers apart from standard releases, appealing to collectors and fashion enthusiasts.

Can I wear these sneakers in rainy weather?

While the rubber sole provides some traction, the premium leather, nubuck, and mesh materials are not designed to be waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain could damage the materials and affect their longevity. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions, especially given they are noted as a "summer favourite".

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace up closure. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the optimal fit for your foot. Ensure you have selected the correct Size UK 4.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior or between the outsole and specific surfaces. Try removing and reinserting the insole, ensuring it's dry and properly seated. If the squeak persists, ensure the shoes are completely dry, especially after exposure to moisture.

Scuffs or stains on the mixed materials.

Address spills or marks immediately. For leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For nubuck, use a specialized nubuck eraser or brush. For mesh, a mild soap solution and soft brush can work. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

The `adiPRENE+` cushioning feels less responsive.

Over time and with heavy use, cushioning can compress. Ensure the shoes are allowed to fully dry out between wears, especially if they've been exposed to moisture, as this can affect cushioning performance. Proper storage helps maintain the material integrity.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoe.

Ensure you wear socks. Allow shoes to air out between uses. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

  1. Untie the laces completely.
  2. Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated.
  3. Begin lacing from the bottom eyelets, pulling gently to achieve a snug but not restrictive fit across your foot.
  4. Tie a secure knot or bow.

Compatibility

These sneakers are designed for Unisex adult wear and are best suited for:

  • Style: Contemporary casual, streetwear, and fashion-forward looks. Their unique design pairs well with both relaxed and slightly more tailored pieces.
  • Occasions: Everyday wear, social events, urban adventures, and situations where comfort and distinctive style are valued.
  • Wardrobe: Excellent with jeans, chinos, joggers, shorts, and casual skirts or dresses. The `Clay` color offers versatility with earthy tones, neutrals, and some muted brights.

Care Instructions

Given the blend of premium leather, nubuck, and mesh, proper care is essential to maintain the sneaker's appearance and longevity.

  • General Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush (like a shoe brush or old toothbrush). For surface marks, use a damp cloth with mild soap, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Leather Areas: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Use a leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
  • Nubuck Areas: Use a nubuck-specific brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid harsh scrubbing. A nubuck eraser can help with minor scuffs.
  • Mesh Areas: Clean gently with a soft brush and a solution of mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage and shrinkage.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
  • Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mixed materials to offer an extra layer of protection.
