FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the adidas Originals Superstar II are designed for casual wear and streetwear. They are not intended for athletic performance activities like running.

How do I clean the nubuck leather upper?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clean nubuck leather. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher stains, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner.

What is the difference between Superstar II and other Superstar models?

The Superstar II often represents a specific iteration with updated materials or design details while retaining the core iconic elements like the shell toe and three stripes. Specific differences can vary by release.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

The leather upper offers some resistance, but they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and to dry them thoroughly if they get wet.

What is the sizing like for these trainers?

These trainers generally follow standard UK sizing. However, fit can be subjective. It is recommended to check sizing charts and, if possible, try them on for the best fit.

Are these shoes unisex?

While the Superstar II design is often favored across genders, this specific listing is for men's sizing. The general style is widely worn by all genders.

How should I store my Superstar II trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material damage.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Allow time for the leather to break in, or consider using a shoe stretcher for minor adjustments. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.

Leather scuff marks

For minor scuffs, try gently rubbing with a clean eraser or a specialized leather cleaner. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides good traction, but caution is always advised on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean from debris.

Discomfort during initial wear

New leather shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size.
