Full details

Featuring a high-quality nylon mesh construction and signature cushioning technology, these trainers provide a comfortable, nostalgic experience for casual wear; however, those looking for modern, high-intensity competition-grade stability may find these better suited for lifestyle use than technical sport.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These are retro lifestyle trainers. While based on running technology, they are designed for casual use rather than intensive sports performance.

How should I clean the nylon mesh?

Gently wipe with a soft damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or laundry machines, which can damage the mesh structure.

Does the Adistar Control 5 fit true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adidas Originals sizing, but we recommend comparing against your current adidas footwear.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from breathable nylon mesh with synthetic overlays for structure and style.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to air them out or insert custom orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper material

Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure of the nylon mesh and synthetic overlays.

Difficulty cleaning metallic accents

Use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and water, focusing only on the synthetic areas to avoid damaging the mesh.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic Y2K design aesthetic
  • Lightweight feel thanks to nylon construction
  • Responsive Adiprene+ cushioning
  • Versatile for casual outfits
  • Durable traction on pavement

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty professional running
  • Metallic finish may show scuffs over time
  • Limited to specific size ranges

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers last, avoid submerging them in water. For daily maintenance, wipe the nylon mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the shoes become damp, remove the insoles and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Because these are classic silhouette trainers, they pair well with both technical streetwear and classic denim. Always check your specific UK size, as the fit is consistent with standard adidas Originals sizing.
