FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The adidas Originals Superstar II is designed primarily for casual wear and streetwear. While they offer good traction and comfort for walking, they do not have the specialized cushioning or support needed for running.
How do I know if the regular fit will work for me?
The regular fit is standard. If you typically wear a medium width and find most shoes comfortable, this fit should be suitable. If you have very wide or narrow feet, consider trying them on in person if possible.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the nubuck leather, lining, and adhesives.
What is the best way to clean the white rubber sole?
Use a damp cloth with a little mild soap or a specialized shoe cleaner. For tougher grime, a magic eraser can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
How durable is the nubuck leather upper?
Nubuck leather is durable for everyday wear but requires care to maintain its appearance. It is softer than traditional leather and can be more susceptible to stains and scuffs if not properly maintained.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The adidas Originals Superstar II model is available in various colorways. This guide specifically covers the Black and White iteration.
What is the difference between Superstar II and other Superstar models?
The Superstar II is a specific iteration that may feature subtle updates to materials or design details compared to the original Superstar or other subsequent models, while retaining the core iconic elements.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow to dry completely before re-lacing.
Nubuck leather showing scuffs
Use a nubuck eraser or a clean, dry nubuck brush to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a leather care specialist.
Slight stiffness on first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The nubuck leather will soften with use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are best suited for everyday wear rather than specialized sports.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the nubuck leather upper, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized nubuck cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid excessive water, as it can damage the material.
- Cleaning the Shell Toe: The rubber shell toe can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for stubborn dirt.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a brush to clean the rubber outsole.
- Lining: The textile lining can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Allow shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag to protect from dust and moisture.
