FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

While the adiStar Cushion 3 is inspired by 2000s running shoe technology and offers a bouncy feel, it is primarily designed as a fashion sneaker for comfort and style, not for performance running or intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the different materials on the shoe?

Gently wipe mesh and textile with a damp cloth and mild soap. For leather, nubuck, and suede, use specialized cleaners for those materials. Pony hair accents should be brushed gently with a soft, dry brush. Always air dry away from heat.

What is adiPRENE+ cushioning?

adiPRENE+ is an adidas cushioning technology designed to absorb shock and provide rebound, offering a responsive and comfortable feel underfoot, especially in the forefoot area.

Is the distressed midsole part of the design or a defect?

The textured and distressed appearance of the midsole is an intentional design feature, contributing to the shoe's unique, reimagined vintage aesthetic. It is not a defect.

Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?

The blend of materials, including nubuck, suede, and pony hair, is not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions. Exposure to excessive moisture can damage the materials. Consider a water-repellent spray specifically designed for mixed-material sneakers for light protection.

What is the sizing like for the adiStar Cushion 3?

adidas sizing is generally consistent. We recommend ordering your usual adidas sneaker size. If you are unsure, refer to adidas's official size charts. The UK 5.5 is for adult feet.

What does 'Song for the Mute' refer to?

'Song for the Mute' (SFTM) is an Australian fashion brand known for its experimental and deconstructed designs. This collaboration brings their unique aesthetic to the classic adidas adiStar Cushion silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Check your lacing. Ensure laces are evenly tightened and not overly restrictive. Allow a few wears for the materials to slightly break in and conform to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size.

The unique materials (e.g., pony hair) are looking dull or matted.

Use a soft, dry brush (like a suede brush or soft-bristled toothbrush) to gently brush the pony hair in its natural direction to restore its texture. For nubuck/suede, use a dedicated suede brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between insoles and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insoles. If it persists, a sprinkle of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole can sometimes help reduce friction.

Visible dirt or scuffs on the distressed midsole.

Gently clean the midsole with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. For tougher marks, a sneaker cleaner specifically designed for midsoles can be used. The distressed nature means minor imperfections are part of its intended look.

Laces constantly come undone.

Ensure you are tying your laces securely. Consider using a 'surgeon's knot' or a 'double knot' for added security. Over time, laces can fray; replacement laces can be purchased if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

As a lace-up sneaker, setup is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Remove the sneakers from their packaging.
  2. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets. Adjust tension for a snug yet comfortable fit.
  3. First Wear: Walk around indoors to get accustomed to the fit and feel before extended outdoor use.

Compatibility

These sneakers are designed to complement a wide range of contemporary and casual styles:

  • Apparel: Pairs well with neutral-toned clothing, earth tones, denim, tailored casual trousers, and streetwear outfits.
  • Occasions: Ideal for casual social gatherings, urban exploration, creative work environments, and everyday wear where comfort and style are valued.
  • Season: Suitable for spring, summer, and autumn due to its mixed material construction and lightweight feel.

Care Instructions

Due to the blend of premium and varied materials, special care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your adiStar Cushion 3 sneakers.

  • General Cleaning: Gently wipe down visible dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Leather/Nubuck/Suede: For specific stains or deeper cleaning, use products designed for these materials. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Use a suede brush for nubuck/suede to restore texture.
  • Pony Hair Accents: Brush gently with a soft brush (e.g., an old, soft toothbrush) in the direction of the hair to remove dust and dirt. Avoid excessive moisture or rubbing, which can damage the hair.
  • Mesh/Textile: A mild soap solution applied with a soft brush can clean mesh areas. Rinse with a damp cloth.
  • Midsole/Outsole: Clean rubber elements with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush can help with textured areas.
  • Drying: Always air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain shape.
