FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The Superstar ST trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. While they offer good traction, they are not specialized athletic shoes for intense sports.

How do I clean the rubber shell toe?

The rubber shell toe can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.

What is the difference between Superstar II and Superstar ST?

The Superstar ST often features updated proportions and materials, such as suede in this case, and may incorporate design elements inspired by later eras (like the 90s/2000s) compared to the original Superstar II design which stayed closer to the 70s original.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, adidas Superstar trainers fit true to size. However, it's always recommended to check the specific sizing chart and consider if you prefer a snug or looser fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole provides some protection, the suede upper is susceptible to water damage and staining. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions without proper waterproofing treatment.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper of this specific model (IH6682, UK 7) is made of suede.

Are there other color options available?

This guide focuses on the black suede model. Other colorways and material variations of the Superstar series may be available from adidas Originals.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Water stains on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to lift the nap. Consider applying a water-repellent spray for future protection.

Laces are dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle.

Gold branding is losing shine

Gently wipe the gold accents with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
