FAQs
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is constructed from durable, full-grain cow leather in a Core Black colorway.
Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities like running or training?
No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed as lifestyle sneakers for casual, everyday wear and are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean the leather upper of my shoes?
For basic cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following product instructions.
What kind of sole do these sneakers have?
They feature a grippy Gum 3 rubber outsole for traction and an EVA midsole for contemporary cushioning and comfort.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
These sneakers are designed for adult male sizing. Info needed: [General user feedback suggests they fit true to size for most, but some may prefer to try them on for personal fit preference.]
What does 'low-profile' mean for these sneakers?
'Low-profile' refers to the sleek, slim design of the shoe, which sits closer to the ground compared to chunkier styles, contributing to its vintage and understated aesthetic.
Can I wear these in all types of weather?
The leather upper provides some protection, but these sneakers are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or snow to preserve the leather and overall condition.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream. This will help restore the leather's natural oils, suppleness, and shine. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations, gradually increasing wear time, to allow the leather and lining to conform to your foot shape. Shoe stretchers can also be used if needed.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes as materials settle. Try wearing them a few more times. If it persists, a small amount of baby powder sprinkled under the insole can often reduce friction and eliminate the squeak.
Slippery on wet surfaces
While the Gum 3 outsole provides good traction, extreme wet, icy, or very smooth polished surfaces can reduce grip. Exercise caution and adjust your stride in such conditions.
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather
For light scuffs, a leather cleaner followed by a matching leather polish or conditioner can often diminish their appearance. For deeper scratches, professional repair might be necessary.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and preserve the aesthetic of your Italia 70s sneakers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt immediately after wear.
- For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
- Periodically apply a good quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its natural luster. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Cleaning the Outsole and Midsole:
- Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution to clean dirt and debris from the Gum 3 rubber outsole and EVA midsole.
- Rinse with a damp cloth, ensuring no soap residue remains.
- Drying:
- Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight). Excessive heat can damage leather and adhesives.
- Stuff the shoes with paper towels or shoe trees to help them maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage:
- Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can cause fading or material degradation.
- If storing for extended periods, use shoe trees to help maintain shape.
