FAQs
What does 'JFA' stand for?
JFA typically stands for Japan Football Association, indicating the inspiration behind this specific collaboration or design theme.
Are these shoes suitable for playing football?
While inspired by football, these trainers are designed for casual wear and not for playing official matches. Their gum outsoles offer casual grip but lack the specialized features of performance football boots.
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The trainers feature textile uppers with leather 3-Stripes and accents. The outsole is made of gum rubber.
How should I care for the gum outsole?
Clean the gum outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a rubber eraser or a mild shoe cleaner can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive sun exposure.
What kind of fit can I expect?
These are low-profile trainers, generally offering a snug but comfortable fit. It's important to ensure you have the correct size, as noted in the product details (this guide refers to UK size 12).
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials (leather, textile) and adhesives. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap only.
What is the benefit of the gum outsole?
The gum outsole provides vintage-inspired grip and durability, offering reliable traction for everyday casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. Use a shoe stretcher if the tightness is consistent, or consider a larger size if this is a recurring issue across multiple wears.
Gum sole discoloration
Minor discoloration can sometimes be removed with a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner for rubber soles. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with a new pair. You can purchase replacement laces from adidas or other footwear retailers.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Uppers: For textile and leather parts, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Lining: If the interior needs cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Outsoles: Clean gum outsoles with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a rubber eraser can sometimes be effective.
- Drying: Always air dry trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight to prevent material damage. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
