FAQs

What is the Adidas City Series?

The Adidas City Series was a collection of trainers launched in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with each model named after a major European city. The Adidas Paris is a rare and sought-after model from this legendary line.

Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?

The Adidas Paris offers a comfortable low-profile fit suitable for casual, all-day wear. However, they provide less cushioning than modern performance running shoes.

How do I choose the right size?

It is recommended to consult the Adidas sizing chart for the most accurate measurement. For the Paris model, consider your usual shoe size in Adidas footwear.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes like the Adidas Paris in wet or rainy conditions, as the material can be easily damaged by moisture and stains. Always protect them from the elements.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of the Adidas Originals Paris is made from premium suede, contributing to its soft texture and vintage aesthetic.

What do the 'Three Stripes' and 'Trefoil' logos signify?

The 'Three Stripes' are Adidas's iconic side branding, while the 'Trefoil' logo, featured on the heel of this model, represents Adidas's heritage sportswear division.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For persistent stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes lose shape

Use shoe trees made of cedar or plastic to maintain the original shape of the shoes when they are not being worn. Stuffing them with plain paper can also help.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the rubber soles are clean from dirt and debris. For new shoes, the rubber may have a slight sheen that can reduce grip; scuffing the soles lightly on a rough surface can improve traction.

  • Durable rubber sole for everyday wear.
  • Iconic Adidas branding details.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no assembly or setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: The Adidas Originals Paris is designed for general adult use and is compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and casual trousers.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede.
  2. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
  3. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
  4. Laces: Clean laces separately by hand or in a garment bag in the washing machine. Ensure they are completely dry before re-inserting.
