FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Italia 70s shoe?

The adidas Originals Italia 70s is a modern take on the classic Italia shoes from adidas's archives, specifically drawing inspiration from designs prominent in the 1960s and 1970s.

Is this shoe suitable for running or sports?

The Italia 70s is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While it offers good traction, it lacks the specialized support and cushioning required for rigorous athletic activities.

How should I clean the suede material?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.

Does the shoe come in other colors?

This guide focuses on the Brown/White colorway. Other color options may be available depending on the season and retailer.

What does the gold foil quarter branding signify?

The signature adidas Italia gold foil quarter branding is a classic design element that signifies the heritage and lineage of the Italia series, paying homage to its roots.

Is the fit true to size?

The Italia 70s generally features a regular fit. It is recommended to consult sizing charts or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

Due to the suede material, these shoes are not ideal for wet conditions. Suede can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to wear them in dry weather or protect them with a suitable waterproofing spray.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty.

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or cleaner, following product instructions.

Shoe feels slightly tight.

Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period to allow the suede to stretch slightly. Avoid excessive force. If they remain too tight, consider if a larger size is needed.

Laces fraying.

Replace the laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. You can find replacements at most shoe stores or online retailers.

Slight color transfer onto socks.

This can occasionally happen with dyed materials, especially when new or wet. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wear. A color fixer spray for suede might help, but test first.

Care:
