Full details

The adidas Originals Italia 70s is for adults seeking a blend of vintage athletic style and modern comfort. Its key benefit is offering a retro aesthetic with premium suede construction for casual wear. A potential caveat is that suede requires specific care to maintain its appearance. This low-profile shoe is a faithful reissue from the adidas archives, featuring design elements from 60s and 70s Italia shoes, a comfortable textile sockliner, and reliable rubber traction.

FAQs

What material are the adidas Originals Italia 70s made of?

The upper is primarily made of suede leather, with a textile sockliner and a rubber outsole.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

These shoes are designed for casual wear and retro style. While they offer reliable traction for walking, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a specialized suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser can be used. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions and to let them air dry naturally if they get damp.

Do these shoes come in different colors?

The product information specifies a Brown/White/Gum colorway. Other color options may be available depending on the retailer and season.

What does 'low-profile' mean in this context?

A low-profile shoe has a sleek, close-to-the-ground design that doesn't cover the ankle, offering a streamlined look.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. These are adult male sizes, typically listed in UK sizing. The shoe has a regular fit.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is strongly advised not to wear suede shoes in the rain, as water can cause staining and damage to the material.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, try a suede eraser.

Shoes feel tight

Leather and suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. If still too tight, consider a slightly larger size, as they are designed for a snug, low-profile fit.

Color transfer from suede

This can occur with new suede, especially in dry conditions. Allow the shoes to air out and consider using a suede protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first). Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until color transfer is no longer an issue.

Sole feels slippery

The rubber outsole provides traction, but on extremely smooth or wet surfaces, caution is advised. Ensure the sole is clean from debris that might affect grip.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: The adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed for general adult wear and pair well with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and casual trousers.

Care:

  • Suede Care: Suede is a delicate material. To maintain its appearance, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and dust regularly. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid wearing these shoes in wet conditions, as water can damage the suede. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat, and then brush to restore the nap.
  • Cleaning: Use a damp cloth for general cleaning of non-suede areas. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and light.
