FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

The Adistar Control 5 are designed with retro running inspiration for everyday comfort and style. For intense or performance-based running, specialized running shoes with more advanced support and cushioning might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the textile upper?

Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water. Always air dry away from heat.

What does 'adiPRENE+' refer to?

adiPRENE+ is a cushioning technology used by adidas that provides enhanced comfort and shock absorption, particularly in the forefoot area, for a more responsive feel.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

While the rubber outsole offers some traction, the textile upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet surfaces.

What is the main design inspiration for the Adistar Control 5?

The design is inspired by iconic Adistar running shoes from the past, blending 00s trends with classic archival elements for a modern yet retro aesthetic.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the Adistar Control 5 series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.

Are these unisex or gender-specific?

This specific variant is described as 'Womens', but the Adistar Control 5 series often includes unisex and men's versions in different colorways.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug fit. If the issue persists, consider the specific fit characteristics of textile uppers which can slightly adapt over time.

Reduced cushioning after extended use

The adiPRENE+ cushioning is designed for durability, but performance can be subjectively perceived. Ensure the shoes are not overloaded or used for activities beyond their intended purpose. Consult product care for maintaining material integrity.

Discoloration of the textile upper

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with mild soap and water as per care instructions. If discoloration is significant, it may be permanent.
