FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

The adidas Originals Superstar II are designed primarily as lifestyle footwear. While they offer comfort and durability for casual wear, they do not feature the advanced technologies required for high-performance athletic activities.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals. Pay attention to the UK sizing provided.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather or nubuck trainers as it can damage the materials and affect the shape of the shoe.

What is the difference between nubuck leather and regular leather?

Nubuck leather is leather that has been buffed on the grain side, giving it a fine, velvety texture. It is more sensitive to water and stains than smooth leather, requiring specific care.

How often should I condition the leather?

Conditioning frequency depends on usage and environmental exposure. For regular wear, conditioning every 3-6 months can help maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent drying out.

What does 'Core Black/Off White/Stone Khaki' refer to?

This describes the primary color scheme of the trainers: 'Core Black' is the main color, 'Off White' typically refers to the shell toe and accents, and 'Stone Khaki' might be a subtle detail color.

Do these trainers come in other colors or materials?

The Superstar II model has been released in various colorways and sometimes material variations over time. Please check available listings for specific options.

Troubleshooting

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with new laces of a similar material and length. Keep spare laces on hand.

Leather scuff marks

Use a specialized nubuck eraser or a clean pencil eraser for light scuffs. For deeper marks, consider a leather repair kit or professional cleaning.

Discoloration from water exposure

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat. For persistent discoloration, a leather recoloring product might be necessary, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Sole separation

Minor separation can sometimes be repaired with a strong adhesive designed for rubber and leather. For significant separation, professional shoe repair is recommended.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your nubuck leather trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or nubuck cleaner to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by air drying away from direct heat.
  2. Protection: Apply a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather or nubuck to protect against moisture and stains.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to prevent dust and maintain shape.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents or solvents, as they can damage the leather.
