adidas Adistar Control 5

adidas Adistar Control 5 returns in a quietly confident Core Black colourway — one of the most genuinely compelling retro running reissues, repositioned for city life.

The double-layered two-tone open mesh upper arrives with Iron Metallic and Grey Six overlays for chrome-finished depth, while the EVA midsole with Formotion heel unit and 3D Torsion arch support deliver cushioned, stable steps across any surface.

$25 AUD flat rate shipping on every order, anywhere in Australia. We are a parallel importer: stock is bought at retail overseas and ships from that market straight to you, so allow 2–3 business days handling and 8–9 business days transit (10–12 business days total), fully tracked. The price at checkout is final — any import duty is already included (Delivered Duty Paid). We don't ship to PO Boxes or Parcel Lockers.

14-day returns. You have 14 days from the date your order is delivered to request a return. Items must be unworn, unwashed, with tags and in original packaging (including the shoe box). Faulty or incorrect items: contact us and we'll normally provide a prepaid return label. Change of mind or wrong size: return shipping is at your cost — no restocking fee. For these returns we'll either email you a return label to post yourself, or arrange return shipping or courier collection — a $10 collection/handling fee applies when return shipping or courier collection is arranged by us, deducted from your refund. There's no fee if you post it back yourself. The $25 shipping fee is not refunded on change-of-mind returns, but it is refunded in full if we cancel your order because the stock turns out to be unavailable. Because these are parallel imports the brand's Australian warranty generally won't apply, so we handle faults ourselves — you deal with us directly. Refunds go to your original payment method within 5–10 business days of approval, in line with Australian Consumer Law.
