FAQs

What materials are the adidas Adistar Cushion Sneaker made from?

This sneaker features a blend of premium leather, nubuck, and mesh for the upper, combined with a durable rubber tread sole.

Is this sneaker suitable for running or sports activities?

While the adiPRENE+ cushioning provides excellent comfort and impact absorption, this particular model is primarily designed for casual wear and all-day comfort, rather than high-performance running or intense sports.

How do I clean the premium leather and nubuck parts?

For leather, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner, followed by conditioning. For nubuck, use a dedicated nubuck brush to remove dirt and a specialized nubuck cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on a small, inconspicuous area first.

What is adiPRENE+ cushioning?

adiPRENE+ is an advanced cushioning technology from adidas designed to provide superior energy return and impact absorption in the forefoot, ensuring lasting comfort and responsiveness with every step.

Is the sneaker waterproof?

Info needed: The product description does not specify that these sneakers are waterproof. Given the leather and mesh construction, it's generally best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

What does 'collapsible upper' mean?

The 'collapsible upper' refers to the sneaker's layered design, which allows the materials to fold or conform to the foot, adding unique dimension and flexibility while worn. It is a design feature rather than implying it can be fully flattened for storage.

Who is 'Song For The Mute' (SFTM)?

Song For The Mute is a contemporary fashion label that has collaborated with adidas to create this unique version of the Adistar Cushion sneaker, bringing their distinctive design aesthetic to the classic adidas silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure laces are not overtightened. The 'collapsible upper' might take a few wears to conform to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur if moisture gets between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole and cleaning both surfaces, then ensuring they are completely dry before reinserting. If it persists, check for any loose components.

Stains on leather or nubuck sections.

Act quickly to treat stains. For leather, a damp cloth with mild soap might work, followed by leather cleaner. For nubuck, use a specialized nubuck eraser or cleaner and a nubuck brush. Avoid aggressive rubbing which can damage the material.

Laces constantly come undone.

Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot, such as a double knot. Over time, laces can wear; consider replacing them if they become too smooth to hold a knot effectively.

Overall appearance is dull or dirty.

Regular cleaning is key. For a comprehensive refresh, clean all components (mesh, leather, nubuck, sole) according to the care instructions. A protective spray designed for mixed materials can help repel dirt and water.

Care Instructions

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your premium sneakers:

  1. General Cleaning: Gently wipe down the mesh and leather sections with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Leather Care: For the leather components, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Apply with a soft cloth and buff gently.
  3. Nubuck Care: Nubuck requires special attention. Use a dedicated nubuck brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a nubuck cleaner, being careful not to saturate the material.
  4. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.

> Info needed: Specific recommendations for cleaning products or protective sprays for leather/nubuck are not provided. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
