FAQs

Are these trainers unisex?

While specific sizing is listed for men (Male), the classic Gazelle silhouette and versatile black colorway are often favored by all genders. Please check the specific size chart for the best fit.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a soft suede brush to remove dry dirt and dust. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on a small, inconspicuous area first and avoid saturating the suede with water.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

What is the main difference between these and standard Gazelles?

What kind of outfits do these trainers complement best?

Their design lends itself well to a variety of outfits, from casual jeans and t-shirts to more elevated streetwear looks, smart-casual attire, and even complementing tailored pieces for a modern aesthetic.

What does 'Y-3' signify?

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

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.

Leather creasing excessively.

This is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize unnatural creasing. Condition the leather periodically to maintain flexibility.

Color transfer from trainers.

Ensure trainers are fully dry before wearing. If color transfer persists, consider a protective spray for suede and leather, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Laces fraying or breaking.

Replace laces with similar material and length. Clean laces by hand washing with mild soap and water.
