Care
Given the blend of premium and unique materials, proper care is crucial to maintain the look and longevity of your adidas adiStar Cushion 3.
- Suede & Nubuck:
- Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. Brush in one direction.
- For tougher spots, use a suede eraser.
- Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and nubuck before first wear, and reapply periodically.
- Avoid excessive water exposure. If wet, blot dry with a clean cloth and air dry away from direct heat.
- Pony Hair Accents:
- Gently brush with a soft cloth or a very soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing, as this can damage the hair.
- Midsole:
- Clean the textured, distressed midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. The distressed finish is intentional, so do not attempt to scrub away the texture.
- General Care:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Stuff with tissue paper to help maintain shape when not in use.
- Do not machine wash or machine dry.
