It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method for cleaning.

How do the three stripes add value?

The iconic three stripes are a hallmark of adidas heritage and style, providing a recognizable branding element that enhances the visual appeal of the trainers.

What type of socks are best with these trainers?

These trainers pair well with a variety of socks, from no-show socks for a clean look to crew socks that complement the streetwear aesthetic. Cotton or blend socks are generally comfortable for everyday wear.

What is the grip like on different surfaces?

The rubber cupsole is designed to provide good traction on most common urban surfaces, including pavement, tile, and wood floors.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable

Allow a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.

Soles show signs of wear

Regular cleaning of the soles can prevent dirt build-up which may contribute to wear. For significant damage, consult a shoe repair specialist.

Discoloration on the white material

Clean promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or colored fabrics that might transfer dye.
