FAQs
What makes these trainers a special collaboration?
These trainers are a special collaboration with NBA star Anthony Edwards, featuring a unique design inspired by his style, incorporating signature elements and a distinctive 'Night Indigo' crocodile print patent leather.
Are these trainers suitable for actual basketball games?
While the outsole is engineered for grip, these trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle and streetwear footwear. They are not intended for professional or high-intensity athletic performance like basketball games.
How do I clean the crocodile print patent leather?
Wipe the patent leather gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution sparingly and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the material of the shell toe?
The shell toe is made of durable rubber, a signature feature of the adidas Superstar line, providing protection and classic aesthetics.
What does 'Night Indigo' refer to?
'Night Indigo' is the specific shade of dark blue used for the crocodile print patent leather upper of the trainers.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, patent leather can be susceptible to water damage or staining if excessively exposed to wet conditions. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What size foot are these designed for?
These trainers are designed for adult males. The specific pair detailed in this guide is a UK size 11, but other sizes are available.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs on patent leather
Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly can sometimes help, followed by a gentle buff.
Discoloration of the 'Night Indigo' color
Ensure the trainers are stored away from direct sunlight and heat. Clean using only recommended mild methods to prevent color fading or alteration.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Custom lace fobs are loose or damaged
Check the attachment point of the lace fob. If it's a simple loop, ensure it's threaded correctly. For damage, contact customer support as these are specialized components.
