FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of nubuck leather.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Superstar II is designed as a lifestyle and streetwear shoe, not for high-performance athletic activities. They offer good traction for everyday movement.
How should I clean the nubuck leather?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
What does 'regular fit' mean?
A regular fit generally refers to a standard width. Individuals with notably wide feet might find them snug.
Do these shoes have good grip?
Yes, the rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction for urban environments and daily wear.
Can these trainers be worn by men and women?
Yes, these are unisex trainers designed for adults.
What is the main appeal of the Superstar II?
The Superstar II appeals to its iconic heritage design, linking back to the 70s and 80s basketball and hip-hop culture, combined with modern comfort for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted properly. If discomfort persists, consider that the 'regular fit' may not be ideal for wider feet. Allow for a break-in period as the leather may slightly stretch over time.
Leather surface appears dull or dirty
Use a soft-bristled brush to clean away surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing.
Traction feels reduced
Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris like stones or mud. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the sole appears significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.
