FAQs
What makes the Superstar 82 different from other Superstar models?
The Superstar 82 is an 'elevated rendition' focused on premium materials like soft, unlined leather and a refined construction, offering a luxurious take on the classic design.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Superstar 82 shoes are designed as lifestyle footwear for casual wear, not for athletic performance like running or intense sports.
How do I know what size to order?
The shoes feature a 'regular fit.' We recommend checking the adidas size guide for precise measurements. This specific pair is UK size 6.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather has some natural resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, and prompt drying is recommended if they do get wet.
How often should I clean and condition the leather?
Cleaning should be done as needed to remove dirt. Conditioning is recommended every few weeks to a month, depending on wear and environmental exposure, to keep the leather supple. Apply a protective spray regularly.
What type of socks should I wear?
For optimal comfort and to protect the leather lining, wear socks that wick moisture. Cotton or performance blends are suitable for everyday wear. The low-cut design makes them suitable for various sock lengths, including no-show socks.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Allow for a short break-in period. The premium leather will soften and conform to your foot over time. Ensure you have the correct size.
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the leather thoroughly and apply a quality leather conditioner to restore its luster and moisture.
Scuffs or minor marks on leather
For light scuffs, gently rub with a clean, soft cloth. For deeper marks, consider using a leather repair balm or seeking professional leather care.
Rubber outsole is dirty or discolored
Scrub the outsole with a stiff brush and a mixture of mild soap and water. For white rubber, a magic eraser can often remove stubborn marks.
Shoes develop an odor
Remove insoles if possible and air out shoes. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear.

Care & Maintenance
Leather Upper Care
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for sneakers. Apply sparingly and follow product instructions.
- Conditioning: To keep the leather soft and prevent cracking, apply a leather conditioner periodically. This helps moisturize the material.
- Protection: Use a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather to protect against spills and light moisture. Reapply as directed by the product.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Rubber Outsole Care
Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. A mild soap solution can be used for stubborn stains.
