FAQs

What is adiPRENE+ cushioning?

adiPRENE+ is an advanced cushioning technology developed by adidas. It is a highly resilient foam material designed to absorb shock in the forefoot and provide enhanced energy return, delivering a responsive and comfortable feel with every step.

How do I clean the different materials of the sneaker?

For mesh and leather, use a soft, damp cloth and a mild sneaker cleaner. For nubuck, use a specialized nubuck brush or eraser, avoiding excessive water. Always air dry away from direct heat and sunlight.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or athletic activities?

The Adistar Cushion sneaker is primarily designed for all-day comfort and casual, everyday wear. While it offers excellent cushioning, it is not specifically engineered as a performance running shoe or for high-impact athletic activities.

What does 'SFTM' stand for?

'SFTM' stands for 'Song For The Mute,' an Australian fashion label known for its unique and contemporary designs. This collaboration brings their distinctive aesthetic to the adidas Adistar Cushion silhouette.

How does the 'collapsible upper' feature work?

The collapsible upper refers to the layered construction of premium materials that allows for a certain degree of flexibility and movement, contributing to the unique silhouette and dimensional design. While it offers aesthetic appeal, it benefits from careful handling and storage to maintain its form.

Is the sizing consistent with other adidas sneakers?

Generally, adidas sizing tends to be consistent. However, due to the unique material blend and layered design, some users might find the fit slightly different. It's recommended to consult an adidas size chart and consider your typical adidas size. If unsure, trying them on is ideal.

Troubleshooting

My sneakers feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing. For tightness, loosen the laces starting from the toe box. For looseness, tighten the laces progressively. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the best fit.

The materials (leather/nubuck) appear dull or scuffed.

For leather, use a soft cloth with a small amount of leather conditioner designed for shoes. For nubuck, use a specialized nubuck brush to restore the nap and an eraser for small scuffs. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first.

There's a squeaking sound when I walk.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda underneath it. Ensure the shoes are completely dry.

The collapsible upper seems to lose its shape.

When not in use, insert shoe trees to help maintain the original form. Avoid storing items on top of the sneakers that could compress the upper. Proper lacing and fit can also help maintain shape during wear.

General dirt and grime buildup.

Perform regular light cleaning as described in the 'Product Care and Maintenance' section. Consistent, gentle cleaning is more effective than infrequent, intense cleaning.

  3. First Wear: Walk around in a clean, indoor environment to assess the fit and feel. Allow the materials to begin conforming to your foot shape.

Product Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your adidas x SFTM Adistar Cushion Sneakers, follow these care instructions:

  • General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the mesh and leather sections with a soft, damp cloth. For nubuck, use a specialized nubuck brush or eraser to remove dry dirt and scuffs.
  • Deep Cleaning (Leather/Mesh): For more stubborn dirt on leather and mesh areas, use a mild shoe cleaner solution specifically designed for sneakers. Apply with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid saturating the materials.
  • Nubuck Care: Nubuck is more delicate. Avoid excessive water. If wet, blot dry with a clean cloth and let air dry naturally. Consider using a nubuck protector spray to guard against stains and water.
  • Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the collapsible upper when not in use. Avoid crushing or folding them to prevent permanent creasing.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the premium materials and colors.
  • Protection: For added protection against water and stains, consider using a high-quality sneaker protector spray suitable for mixed material footwear.
