FAQs
What is the main inspiration for this Superstar II edition?
This edition draws inspiration from the 1994 Predator football boot, combined with the iconic adidas Superstar design, featuring a croc-embossed leather upper.
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and casual use. While they offer comfort and support, they are not engineered for high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean the croc-embossed leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more thorough cleaning, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used, followed by a leather conditioner to maintain the material's quality.
What does 'regular fit' mean for these shoes?
'Regular fit' indicates a standard shoe width and volume, suitable for most foot shapes. However, individual fit can vary.
Can these trainers be worn by women?
While listed with men's sizing (UK 12), the Superstar II is a unisex model. Women typically order 1.5 to 2 sizes down from their standard women's size for a comparable fit.
How does the sizing compare to other adidas shoes?
The Superstar II generally runs true to size for many, but the regular fit and leather material can mean they stretch slightly over time. It's recommended to check sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible.
What is the material of the outsole?
The outsole is made of rubber, providing grip and durability for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing to your preference. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or using insoles for a tighter fit.
Leather creasing excessively.
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Discoloration on the leather.
This could be due to dirt or dye transfer. Try cleaning with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Ensure socks worn do not transfer dye.
Rubber outsole showing wear.
The rubber outsole is designed for durability but will show wear with extensive use. For significant wear, consider professional repair or replacement if possible.

Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the leather or the embossed pattern.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
