FAQs
How do I clean the distressed denim upper?
Spot clean gently with a slightly damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid soaking the material and allow it to air dry away from direct heat.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Superstar II trainers are designed primarily for casual wear. While the outsole offers good traction, they do not provide the specialized support or technology required for most athletic activities.
What is the 'shell toe' feature?
The shell toe is a signature design element of the Superstar series. It's a protective rubber cap over the toe area that provides durability and iconic styling.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to try them on if possible. Refer to the size chart and consider the fit you prefer, as some find they run true to size, while others may prefer to size up or down slightly depending on foot width.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The denim material is not waterproof. While the rubber outsole offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may affect the denim's appearance and longevity.
What does 'distressed-style denim' mean?
This refers to a denim finish that mimics the appearance of wear and tear, often featuring unique textures, fading, or slight fraying to give a pre-loved or vintage look.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing worn-out laces with new ones that have better grip.
Discomfort or rubbing
Wear with appropriate socks. If the issue persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider breaking them in gradually.
Denim upper looks dull or dirty
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid over-wetting the denim. Let air dry naturally.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
While the outsole provides grip, very smooth or wet surfaces can be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris for optimal traction.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Denim Upper: Due to the distressed denim material, avoid harsh cleaning agents. Spot clean with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt from the rubber outsole. For tougher marks, a damp cloth with a small amount of soap can be used.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and prevent material degradation. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
