FAQs
How do I clean my adidas Superstar II sneakers?
For the smooth leather upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner. The rubber shell toe and outsole can be cleaned with a brush and soapy water. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports activities?
The adidas Originals Superstar II is primarily designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker. While comfortable for everyday wear, it is not engineered for the demands of performance running or high-impact sports.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper of the adidas Originals Superstar II is crafted from smooth leather, offering both durability and a premium, classic aesthetic.
Do these sneakers fit true to size?
Generally, adidas Superstar II models are considered to fit true to size for most individuals. However, personal fit preferences can vary, so consulting a size guide is recommended if you are unsure.
How durable is the iconic shell toe?
The shell toe is made from durable rubber, designed to offer extra protection for the front of your foot and contribute to the shoe's longevity against everyday bumps and scuffs.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
While the leather offers some resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather and maintain their appearance. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
Troubleshooting
My sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather sneakers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet. The padded collar and tongue will become more comfortable with use.
The white leather upper is getting dirty quickly.
White leather naturally shows dirt more easily. Wipe off dirt and scuffs immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized white shoe cleaner or a gentle leather cleaner. Consider applying a leather protector spray for future resistance.
The sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the textured rubber outsole is clean of any mud, debris, or oil, which can reduce grip. If the soles are excessively worn and smooth, the traction will diminish, and replacement may be necessary.
The laces keep coming undone.
Ensure you are tying your laces with a double knot for extra security. If the laces are old and slick, consider replacing them with new ones that provide better friction.

Care
Proper care will maintain the pristine look and longevity of your Superstar II sneakers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Wipe off loose dirt with a soft, dry brush or cloth.
- For surface grime, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Gently rub the soiled areas, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the leather.
- Cleaning the Shell Toe and Outsole:
- A small brush (like an old toothbrush) with mild soap and water can effectively clean the rubber shell toe and outsole.
- Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
- White Color Maintenance:
- For stubborn marks on white leather, consider a specialized white shoe cleaner or a gentle leather conditioner that also cleans.
- Address stains promptly to prevent them from setting.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can crack or damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
