FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the adidas Superstar Neighborhood Cement Grey design?
The design is a collaboration between adidas and Tokyo-based streetwear brand Neighborhood, blending Neighborhood's signature sleek streetwear aesthetic with the iconic adidas Superstar silhouette, featuring elements inspired by Tokyo culture.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While they share the Superstar silhouette known for comfort, these are primarily fashion and streetwear trainers. They are not designed for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a dedicated suede brush to maintain the texture and remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, but always test on a small, hidden area first.
What does the branding on the shoe signify?
The shoe features the Neighborhood logo debossed in white on the side, along with skull branding and the Neighborhood motto on the rear heel and heel tab. The midsole also includes Tokyo branding within a lightning bolt graphic.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are made from leather and suede and are not inherently waterproof. Applying a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather and suede can offer some protection against light moisture.
What makes the midsole stand out?
Our experts note that the midsole is a standout feature, contrasting with the shoe's monochrome subtlety, highlighted by the unique Tokyo branding within a lightning bolt graphic.
How should I care for the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Leather creasing excessively
Proper fit is crucial. Ensure you have the correct size. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape and reduce creasing.
Color transfer from suede to socks or lighter clothing
This can occur with new suede items. Consider using a suede sealant spray. Limit wear in wet conditions initially.
Midsole graphic scuffing or peeling
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods on the graphic. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing can damage the print.
