FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The adidas Superstar II Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and streetwear. While they offer comfort and durability for walking, they are not specialized for high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild leather cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What is the 'Cold Cement' construction mentioned?

Cold Cement construction refers to a method of attaching the sole to the upper, typically resulting in a durable bond that maintains flexibility.

Do these trainers have good grip?

Yes, they feature a rubber outsole designed to provide reliable grip and traction for everyday use on various surfaces.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Consider using a leather protectant spray and ensure they are properly dried if they get wet.

What is the main difference between this and the original Superstar?

The Superstar II is a reimagining of the classic, featuring updated proportions for a more contemporary look while retaining the iconic shell toe and stripes.

What size should I order if I'm between sizes?

Given the regular fit and lace closure, if you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for a bit more room, or the smaller size for a snugger fit. Customer reviews often provide insights into sizing.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Laces coming undone

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. If laces are old or frayed, consider replacing them with new ones.

Slight stiffness on first wear

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape.

Discoloration of white rubber elements

Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a magic eraser gently on the rubber parts to restore their brightness. Avoid harsh chemicals.
