FAQs

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

The adidas Superstar is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for comfort and style during everyday activities. It is not intended for high-impact sports or specific athletic training.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The Superstar generally runs true to size. It is recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and the heel does not slip.

Can I machine wash my Superstars?

It is strongly advised not to machine wash your adidas Superstars, especially those made of leather. This can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape of the shoe. Hand wash and air dry instead.

What is the main difference between this and older models?

This specific model (EG4959) celebrates the 50th anniversary and features a full-grain leather upper with a fresh color scheme. The core design elements like the shell toe and three-stripes remain, but material updates and branding details may vary slightly across different releases.

How often should I clean my leather Superstars?

Clean your leather Superstars as needed, typically after significant wear or when visible dirt appears. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning and conditioning can be done periodically.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

Yes, the adidas Superstar model is available in a wide variety of colorways and materials, including variations with laceless designs and different accent colors. The specific product information provided relates to a black and white leather version.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to the tongue rubbing against the inside of the shoe or moisture. Try adjusting the laces or applying a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe.

Leather appears dry or creased

Condition the leather with a dedicated leather conditioner. Ensure proper drying after cleaning and avoid over-flexing the shoe when storing.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides grip, but caution is advised on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.

Discoloration of white stripes or sole

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a magic eraser or specialized sneaker cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Compatibility: These sneakers are designed for adult male and unisex wear. They are highly compatible with a variety of casual and smart-casual clothing styles.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush or an old toothbrush with mild soap and water to clean the rubber edges and sole.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash or place them in a mesh bag in the washing machine.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather and adhesives.
  5. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains.
