FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is crafted from 100% premium goat suede leather.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt and consider a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always protect with a suede protector spray.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and fashion wear, offering comfort for daily use but not optimized for intense athletic activities.

What does 'Y-3' represent?

Y-3 is a collaboration between Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto and adidas, combining high fashion with sportswear.

How do the trainers fit?

They are designed for a regular fit and are generally true to size. Refer to the size guide for specific measurements.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions, as water can damage the material and cause staining or discoloration.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of 100% durable rubber, providing excellent grip and stability.

Troubleshooting

Suede color bleeding or staining.

Ensure suede is properly treated with a protector spray. If bleeding occurs, allow the affected area to dry completely and then attempt to gently brush the suede. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions.

Laces become worn or dirty.

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Clean existing laces by handwashing with mild detergent and air drying.

Reduced grip from the rubber sole.

Clean the sole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.

Discomfort or pressure points.

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Wear with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, the fit might not be suitable.
