FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor CLOT By Edison Chen trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While comfortable for walking, they are not engineered for high-impact running or athletic performance.
How do I clean the off-white upper?
Gently wipe the upper with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner and a soft brush. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the significance of the CLOT By Edison Chen collaboration?
This collaboration signifies a fusion of adidas's classic 'Gazelle Indoor' silhouette with the unique design aesthetic and cultural influence of CLOT founder Edison Chen, resulting in a distinct and stylish iteration.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, it's advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What are the main differences from the standard Gazelle Indoor?
The CLOT By Edison Chen version features a unique collaborative design, specific material treatments, and often distinct colorways or detailing compared to the standard Gazelle Indoor models.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
These trainers pair well with most types of socks. For a classic look, consider ankle socks or no-show socks. The choice depends on personal preference and the outfit.
How durable is the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole is durable for everyday use and provides good traction. However, it can be more susceptible to scuffs and showing dirt compared to darker rubber compounds.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, they may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially.
Creases forming on the upper
This is natural with wear, especially on leather or suede. Using shoe trees when not in use can help minimize deep creases. Avoid overly tight lacing.
Gum sole becoming discolored
Gum soles can naturally yellow over time with exposure to light and air. They can also pick up dirt easily. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Specialized sole cleaners might help, but use with caution.
