Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Superstar series is designed as a lifestyle trainer and does not provide the technical support required for running.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing; we recommend selecting your normal adidas size.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from high-quality leather.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the special aesthetic details of the BABO collaboration.

Does this model come with extra laces?

The product comes with the standard lacing configuration intended for the specific design.

Troubleshooting

Creasing at the toe box

Leather creasing is natural; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape.

Stiff fit during first wear

Leather shoes often require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations indoors to soften the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive and highly unique design collaboration
  • Maintains the proven comfort of the Superstar series
  • High-quality leather construction for long-term wear
  • Versatile color palette that pairs well with multiple styles

Cons

  • Experimental design may not suit those preferring traditional minimalism
  • Leather requires specific care compared to synthetic materials
  • Limited availability due to the collaboration nature

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the material and the integrity of the unique aesthetic details.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
  3. Compatibility: These trainers feature standard lacing systems and are compatible with most standard orthotic insoles if additional arch support is required.
  4. Weather Protection: Consider using a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against light moisture before wearing them in damp conditions.
