FAQs
What is the 'City Series'?
The 'City Series' is a collection of adidas shoes launched in the 1970s and 80s, with each model named after a major European city. They are known for their retro designs and often simple, classic construction.
What material is the adidas Originals Paris made of?
The upper is primarily made of 'Clay' colored suede, with synthetic detailing for the heel tab and 3-Stripes. The sole is made of rubber.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Originals Paris is designed as a casual lifestyle shoe. It is not intended for athletic performance and may not provide adequate support or cushioning for sports activities.
How do I maintain the suede material?
Regularly brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and maintain its texture. Protectant sprays can help prevent stains, and specialized suede cleaners should be used for stubborn marks.
What size should I order?
It is recommended to order your usual shoe size. Suede may offer a little give over time. Refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While suede can be treated for water resistance, it is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions as the suede can be easily stained and damaged.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of a durable, textured rubber, providing grip and a classic aesthetic suitable for casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Shoes feel tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. If initially tight, wear them for short periods. Consider using shoe stretchers if the tightness persists.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Treating with a suede protector spray can help prevent future water spots.
