FAQs
What materials are these trainers made from?
These Adidas Superstar 82 trainers feature a premium leather upper, leather lining, and a durable rubber outsole and shell toe.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Adidas Superstar line generally has a standard fit. For very wide feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure comfort, as leather does not stretch as much as some textile materials.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth for light dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture. However, these trainers are not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using a water-repellent spray designed for leather footwear to offer additional protection.
What does '82' in Superstar 82 refer to?
The '82' indicates that this model is a faithful re-creation or tribute to the original Adidas Superstar design from 1982, incorporating specific details and proportions from that era.
Is the `UK 3` size a men's or women's size?
Adidas sizing is typically unisex. `UK 3` is a common adult size, but it is at the smaller end of the adult size spectrum. It's best to refer to a specific Adidas size chart if unsure about conversion to other sizing standards.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too stiff initially
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations, gradually increasing wear time. Using thicker socks can also help.
Leather appears scuffed or dull
Clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner or polish in a matching color may be used. Apply leather conditioner to restore shine and suppleness.
White stripes or shell toe are dirty
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the rubber shell toe and white stripes. A magic eraser can also be effective for scuffs on rubber components.
Trainers develop an odor
Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb odors. Ensure trainers are fully dry before storage.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Superstar 82 trainers.
- Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner according to its instructions.
- Drying: If wet, allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the white stripes and shell toe.
- Conditioning: Periodically condition the leather to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
