FAQs
What is the primary material of the Superstar II 'Olive Strata' trainers?
The primary upper material is supple nubuck, complemented by serrated 'Off White' leather 3-Stripes and a rubber shell toe.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
While inspired by hardwood court shoes, the Superstar II is designed primarily for casual wear and everyday style, not for high-performance athletic activities.
How do I clean the nubuck upper without damaging it?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a slightly damp cloth for stains. Always allow to air dry and avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
What does 'Olive Strata' refer to?
'Olive Strata' is the name of the colorway, indicating a shade of green for the main body of the shoe.
What is the significance of the rubber shell toe?
The rubber shell toe is a signature design element of the Superstar line, providing durability and a distinctive retro look.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The trainers can handle light moisture, but they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, and they should be dried thoroughly if they get wet.
What UK shoe size is this guide referring to?
This specific guide focuses on the UK 6.5 size, but the information applies to all available sizes of the adidas Originals Superstar II trainers.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole and checking for any debris, or place a dry paper towel between the insole and the sole.
Nubuck material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede or nubuck brush to restore the texture and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized nubuck cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully.
Leather 3-Stripes show creases
Creases are natural with wear. To minimize their appearance, ensure the shoes are stored properly and avoid over-stuffing them. Gentle conditioning of the leather can also help.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for grip, some very smooth or wet surfaces might pose a challenge. Ensure the zig-zag tread is free from debris. For added grip on specific surfaces, consider specialized shoe traction aids.
