FAQs

What is the main difference between Superstar II and other Superstar models?

The Superstar II often features variations in materials, colorways, and subtle design tweaks compared to the original Superstar or newer iterations, while maintaining the core shell toe and three-stripe design.

Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Superstar II is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle use. They lack the advanced support and cushioning of modern performance basketball shoes.

How do I care for the distressed leather finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning and apply a specialized leather conditioner periodically. Avoid abrasive cleaners and excessive moisture to preserve the distressed look.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The trainers can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended due to the leather material. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.

What does 'Shadow Olive' refer to?

'Shadow Olive' refers to the specific muted, dark greenish-brown color of the leather upper in this particular version of the trainers.

Are the silver foil wordmarks durable?

The silver foil wordmarks are a decorative element. They should be treated gently during cleaning to prevent them from peeling or scratching off.

What is the best way to store these trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or keeping them in their original box can help maintain their shape and protect them.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears to be drying out or cracking.

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat or dryness.

3-Stripes or branding appear faded.

Clean gently with a damp cloth. For significant fading on painted elements, consult a professional shoe repair service for recoloring options.

Soles are losing grip.

Clean the outsoles thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing traction. If wear is significant, consider professional sole replacement.

Shoes smell unpleasant after wear.

Remove insoles and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are dry before storing.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the distressed finish. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  • Suede/Nubuck (if applicable to specific colorways): Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. Treat with a suede protector spray.
  • Outsoles: Clean the rubber outsoles with a damp cloth or a soft brush.
  • Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
