FAQs
What makes the 'Vintage Bape' version special?
The 'Vintage Bape' version is a special collaboration that features the iconic adidas Superstar silhouette enhanced with the distinctive BAPE camouflage pattern on the three stripes and co-branding on the heel, along with a vintage-inspired off-white midsole.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. While they offer comfort and support for casual activities like walking, they are not intended for high-impact athletic performance.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by adidas or the retailer. The 'UK 7.5' size indicated is a standard measurement. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.
What is the material of the shoe?
The primary material for the upper of these trainers is leather, providing a premium feel and durability. The sole is made of rubber.
Can I wash these trainers?
No, these trainers should not be machine washed. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and appropriate leather care products if necessary.
What does 'BAPE' stand for?
BAPE is a popular Japanese streetwear brand, short for 'A Bathing Ape'.
Is the camouflage pattern waterproof?
The camouflage pattern is printed onto the material. While the leather can offer some water resistance, the pattern itself is not inherently waterproof and should be protected from excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid excessive bending. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.
Dirt on camouflage pattern
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a very mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the pattern.
Discoloration of midsole
The vintage off-white midsole may naturally yellow slightly over time. Clean regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can accelerate discoloration.
