FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is crafted from distressed leather.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While inspired by a basketball silhouette, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and everyday use, not for intense athletic performance.

How do I clean the distinctive shell toe?

The rubber shell toe can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap and water solution.

What does 'distressed leather' mean?

Distressed leather has been treated to give it a worn-in, vintage appearance, which adds character and uniqueness to the footwear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather.

What is the origin of the Superstar II model?

The Superstar II is a reinterpretation of the iconic adidas Superstar, originally a basketball shoe known for its distinctive shell toe.

Does the 'Shadow Olive' color fade?

Like most leather products, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the color to fade or change. Proper storage away from light is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in leather

Some creasing is natural with leather and adds to the distressed look. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or in any areas where friction is suspected.

Discoloration of the 'Shadow Olive' color

Exposure to prolonged direct sunlight can affect the color of leather. Store the shoes away from light and clean with appropriate leather care products to maintain the intended hue.

Rubber outsole showing wear

Regular wear will naturally cause some wear on the rubber outsole. Ensure the shoes are kept clean and dry when not in use to prolong the life of the rubber. Avoid excessive use on rough surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility:

The adidas Originals Superstar II trainers are designed as unisex adult footwear. Their sizing is based on UK men's standard foot measurements. They are compatible with a wide range of casual clothing styles.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Maintaining the Distressed Look: The distressed finish is intentional. Avoid over-cleaning or conditioning products that might alter this texture. Spot clean only when necessary.
  • Shell Toe and Rubber Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the rubber, a mild soap and water solution can be effective. Ensure the outsoles are dry before wearing to prevent slipping.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
