adidas x Song for the Mute adiStar Cushion 3 - Brown, UK 7

adiPRENE+ is adidas's advanced cushioning technology designed for superior shock absorption and responsive energy return. This means you'll experience plush comfort and a springy feel, making the shoes comfortable for extended periods of wear.

While the adiPRENE+ cushioning provides athletic-level comfort, the adidas x Song for the Mute adiStar Cushion 3 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. Its premium materials and specific construction are best suited for casual wear rather than strenuous athletic performance.

These shoes generally fit true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both options or referring to adidas's official size guide for specific measurements.

Due to the mixed materials, especially nubuck and pony hair, these shoes are not ideal for heavy rain or very wet conditions. Moisture can damage these materials. We recommend using a water and stain repellent spray for light protection and avoiding prolonged exposure to wet environments.

The collaboration with Song for the Mute brings a distinctive design philosophy to the classic adiStar Cushion silhouette. This includes unique material combinations, a collapsible upper, pony hair accents, and a distressed midsole, offering a reimagined and avant-garde take on a retro favorite.

The frequency of cleaning depends on your usage. For regular wear, a quick brush-off of dirt after each use is beneficial. A more thorough cleaning of specific materials should be done as needed, especially if visible dirt or stains appear, to prevent long-term damage.

The collapsible upper is a design feature for aesthetic and dimensional layering, not a structural weakness. The distressed midsole is part of the intended vintage look and does not indicate pre-existing damage or reduced durability. Both elements are designed to be resilient within the context of lifestyle footwear.

The mixed premium materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot.

Very gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush or microfibre cloth. For scuffs, lightly dampen a soft cloth with cool water and dab in the direction of the hair. Avoid scrubbing.

Use a specialized nubuck cleaning brush to gently restore the nap. For stains, apply a small amount of nubuck cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

This can sometimes happen with new soles or insoles. Try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole, or if it's from the sole, it may reduce with wear.

While the shoe features mesh elements, the layered construction and premium materials can reduce breathability compared to purely mesh shoes. Opt for moisture-wicking socks to help manage foot temperature.
