FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light urban activity; they are not optimized for long-distance competitive running.

How do I ensure the right fit?

The Adistar Control 5 follows standard adidas sizing. We recommend ordering your usual size for the best fit.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the open-mesh upper is designed for breathability and will not keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.

What is the inspiration behind this design?

This special edition is a collaboration with Pokémon, specifically inspired by the legendary dragon-type Pokémon, Rayquaza.

How should I store these trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant colours from fading.

Troubleshooting

Mesh upper accumulating dust or debris

Use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the mesh weave.

Laces slipping during wear

Ensure you are using a double knot or a runner's loop if you require a more secure fit.

Midsole cushioning feels less responsive

Rotate your footwear to allow the EVA foam to decompress fully between daily uses.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive and nostalgic retro-runner design
  • High breathability from open-mesh materials
  • Lightweight feel with Adiprene+ forefoot cushioning
  • Comfortable for all-day urban activity

Cons

  • Bold green colorway may limit outfit versatility
  • Not intended for high-intensity competitive running
  • Special edition styling may not suit all tastes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select your standard adidas adult size. As a unisex design, the width provides a balanced accommodate for most foot shapes. To maintain the vibrant green color and mesh structure, avoid machine washing these shoes, as it can damage the metallic overlays and adhesive integrity. Instead, clean the mesh with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the outsole. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material warping.
