FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the original ZX 750 from 1984 was a running shoe, this modern 'Originals' iteration is designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and style. It is not recommended for performance running or intense athletic activities.

How do I clean my grey adidas ZX 750 trainers?

For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution. For tougher stains, a specialized sneaker cleaning kit is recommended. Always air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

Are these true to size?

The adidas ZX 750 typically fits true to size for UK 10 adult male feet. If you are unsure, consider trying them on or consulting an adidas sizing guide.

What kind of outfits do these trainers go well with?

Their classic grey colour and retro design make them highly versatile. They pair well with casual outfits like jeans, chinos, shorts, and tracksuits for an effortlessly stylish look.

What materials are the ZX 750 made from?

The ZX 750 typically features a combination of durable materials, often including mesh, suede, and synthetic overlays, designed for both comfort and longevity. Specific material composition can vary slightly by release.

Can I put my ZX 750s in the washing machine?

No, it is strongly advised not to put your trainers in a washing machine. The harsh cycles and detergents can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoes. Always clean them by hand.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you have the correct UK size 10 for your foot. If the size is correct, adjust the lacing to find a comfortable fit. For new shoes, a short break-in period may also improve comfort.

Trainers are getting dirty quickly.

Regularly wipe down the trainers with a damp cloth after use. For preventative measures, apply a suitable sneaker protector spray before wearing them out, especially in wet or dusty conditions.

Trainers are losing their shape.

Insert shoe trees when not wearing them to help maintain the original silhouette. Store them properly in a cool, dry place, ensuring they are not crushed or stacked under heavy items.

Material appears dull or faded.

Use a gentle shoe cleaner and brush designed for the specific materials of the trainer. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners which can damage the fabric. Proper drying away from direct sunlight also helps preserve colour.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your ZX 750 trainers:

  1. Regular Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for sneakers.
  2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaning agents, as these can damage the materials and colour.
  3. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators) as these can cause materials to warp or crack.
  4. Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  5. Protection: For added protection against water and stains, you may consider using a suitable sneaker protector spray, especially for the grey material.
