FAQs

What material are these trainers made from?

The adidas Superstar II trainers feature a 100% leather upper, a textile lining, and a durable rubber outsole.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Superstar II trainers are designed for casual, everyday wear and street style. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities like running or intense sports.

How do I clean the white leather and rubber parts?

For leather, use a soft, damp cloth for light dirt or a specialized leather cleaner for tougher stains. The rubber shell toe and outsole can be cleaned with mild soap and water using a brush. Always air dry.

Will the white color get dirty easily?

Yes, as with any white footwear, these trainers are prone to showing dirt and scuffs. Regular cleaning and application of a leather protector spray are recommended to maintain their pristine appearance.

How should I store my trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help them retain their shape and prevent creasing.

Are these trainers true to size?

Adidas sizing generally runs true to size for the Superstar series. We recommend referring to the adidas official size guide if you are unsure, or trying them on if possible.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the leather offers some natural water resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, and a leather protector spray can offer additional protection against moisture.

Troubleshooting

Trainers appear dirty or scuffed quickly.

White leather is prone to showing dirt. Regularly wipe down the trainers with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner following its instructions.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Often, squeaking comes from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole. Ensure laces are tied securely.

Laces constantly come undone.

Ensure you are double-knotting your laces. You can also try different lacing techniques or investing in laces with a slightly rougher texture for better grip.

Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable.

Leather trainers require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material over time.

Yellowing on white rubber outsole or shell toe.

This can happen over time due to oxidation or sun exposure. Specialized rubber cleaner or a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide (applied carefully and rinsed) can sometimes help lighten the yellowing. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Care
