FAQs
Are these Adidas Superstar II trainers unisex?
While listed here for adult men at size 12.5, the silhouette is widely considered a unisex design, and similar versions are available across different size ranges.
How do I maintain the white leather?
Regularly wipe away dust with a damp cloth and use leather-specific cleaning products to preserve the finish.
Can these be used for sports?
While they originated as basketball shoes, modern versions are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use and lack the advanced cushioning found in specialized performance athletic shoes.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Superstar II generally fits true to size, though the leather construction may feel snugger than mesh alternatives; if you prefer a roomier fit, some users opt for a half-size up.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can replace the standard laces with any matching length flat or round laces to customize the look.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff after purchase
Wear the shoes with thick socks for short periods at home to gently stretch and soften the leather material.
Scuff marks on the rubber shell toe
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a cloth dampened with a gentle soap solution to buff out superficial scuffs.
Creasing in the leather near the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of high-quality leather; inserting shoe trees after every wear helps minimize further deep creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Break-in Period: Wear your new trainers for short intervals over the first week to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp, soft cloth. The rubber shell toe can be scrubbed gently with a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush to remove scuffs.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to repel water and stains, especially given the white colourway.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading. Use shoe trees to help maintain the silhouette when not in use.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair effortlessly with jeans, chinos, or casual trousers due to their understated, minimalist colour scheme.
