FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
No, the adidas Originals Gazelle x Inter Miami trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for high-performance sports or athletic activities. Their construction is optimized for comfort and style rather than athletic support or durability.
How do I protect the suede from water and stains?
It is highly recommended to apply a quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply it regularly, especially if you anticipate exposure to moisture or dirt. This creates a barrier that helps repel water and stains.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers, particularly due to the suede material. Machine washing can damage the suede, alter its texture, and cause color bleeding. Follow the manual cleaning instructions for suede care.
What is the fit like?
These trainers feature a 'regular fit.' Most users find them true to size. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting a size guide. The lace closure allows for some adjustability.
Are the Inter Miami colors permanent?
The colors are dyed into the material, but like any colored footwear, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Proper storage away from direct sun helps maintain color vibrancy.
Is the sole slippery?
The dimpled rubber outsole provides adequate traction for everyday casual use on most urban surfaces. However, like any shoe, it may have reduced grip on very wet, icy, or extremely smooth surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in one direction.
Water stains on suede
Lightly dampen the entire affected area with a damp cloth (not soaking wet) to even out the stain, then blot dry with a clean cloth and allow to air dry. A suede eraser can help after drying.
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace closure. The regular fit accommodates most foot shapes, but proper lacing can significantly impact comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no special setup. Simply unbox, lace them up to your preferred tightness, and they are ready to wear.
Compatibility:
The Gazelle x Inter Miami trainers are designed for adults and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. Their blue and pink colorway pairs well with neutral tones like white, black, and grey, as well as denim. They can complement both athletic-inspired looks and more relaxed, streetwear styles.
Care:
Given the suede upper, proper care is crucial to maintain their appearance:
- Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically.
- Cleaning:
- For dry dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently remove debris. Always brush in the direction of the nap.
- For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can leave marks.
- Use a suede eraser for scuffs and small marks.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation. Avoid crushing the suede.
