FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by adidas, paying close attention to the UK sizing. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and the heel does not slip excessively.
Can I wear these for running or intense sports?
The adidas Superstar is designed primarily for casual wear. While durable, it lacks the specific cushioning and support features required for running or high-impact sports.
How often should I clean my Superstars?
Clean your sneakers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or significant wear. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain their appearance.
Is the metallic gold branding durable?
The metallic gold branding is applied carefully. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods on these areas to prevent chipping or scratching.
What is the main difference between this and other Superstar models?
This specific model (EG4959) features a full-grain leather upper, a classic black and white colorway with metallic gold accents, and represents an updated version for its anniversary, maintaining the iconic silhouette.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash leather sneakers, as it can damage the material and construction. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material over time.
Scuffs or dirt on the rubber shell toe/midsole
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner can be used carefully on the rubber components.
Discoloration of the white stripes or heel tab
Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If discoloration is significant, professional shoe cleaning might be necessary.
