FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Originals Japan sneakers are designed as lifestyle footwear. While comfortable for walking and everyday activities, they are not engineered for the demands of running or high-impact sports.

How do I clean the white leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a dedicated white leather cleaner following the product's instructions, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

What is the best way to care for the suede lining?

Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For minor stains, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid saturating the suede with water.

Will the gold foil branding fade over time?

With normal wear and proper care, the gold foil branding is designed to be durable. Avoid abrasive cleaning directly on the foil to preserve its appearance.

Are these shoes true to size?

adidas Originals sizing is generally consistent. We recommend ordering your usual adidas shoe size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend applying a water and stain protector spray to the leather and suede for added protection in damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Leather showing creases or scuffs

Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather supple and minimize creases. For light scuffs, a white leather cream or polish can help blend them in.

Suede lining looks matted or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

Shoes feel too stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the premium leather to break in and mold to your foot shape naturally. Leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The rubber sole provides standard traction. Exercise caution on very wet or icy surfaces as these are not designed for extreme grip in such conditions. Ensure the sole is clean of debris.

White areas becoming discolored

Regularly clean the white leather and sole with appropriate cleaners. For rubber soles, a magic eraser can often remove scuff marks and dirt effectively.
