FAQs
What material are the adidas Superstar SH made from?
The adidas Superstar SH in 'White/Dark Cream' is primarily constructed from high-quality leather for the upper, complemented by a rubber shell toe and rubber outsole.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, adidas Superstar models tend to run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary, so it's always recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible.
Can I use these for skateboarding?
Yes, the adidas Superstar SH maintains elements of its skate heritage, including a durable leather upper and protective shell toe, making it suitable for casual skateboarding and everyday wear.
How do I clean the white leather on my Superstar SH?
For basic cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner with a soft brush, and consider a leather conditioner to maintain the material's quality. Address stains promptly.
Is the 'SH' in the product name significant?
The 'SH' in the adidas Superstar SH typically refers to specific editions or updates within the Superstar line, often indicating slight modifications in materials, construction, or styling from the original classic. For this model (HP8713), it signifies a specific modern iteration of the iconic shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for cold or wet weather?
While the leather upper offers some protection, these shoes are not specifically designed for harsh cold or wet weather. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, and they do not offer insulation for extreme cold. For wet conditions, consider applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet.
White leather has scuffs or dirt marks that won't wipe off.
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush or sponge. For tough scuffs, a white shoe polish or leather repair cream designed for white leather can help conceal marks after cleaning.
Shoes develop an odor.
Remove the insoles and air out the shoes overnight. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes to absorb odors. Ensure your socks are clean and breathable.
Leather appears dry or is cracking.
Clean the shoes thoroughly, then apply a good quality leather conditioner. This will moisturize the leather and help prevent further cracking. Regular conditioning is key.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather adidas Superstar SH.
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe the shoes down with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Spot Treatment: Address stains promptly. A gentle shoe cleaner applied with a soft brush can help remove localized dirt.
- Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important for white leather.
- Protect from Elements: Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or direct sunlight, which can damage the leather. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.

- Lace Care: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately to keep them looking fresh.
