FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the adidas Originals Paris shoes?

The adidas Originals Paris is inspired by the iconic 'City Series' footwear collection launched by adidas in the 1970s, bringing a retro aesthetic to modern footwear.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of suede, specifically in a 'Grey Four' colorway, with contrasting black detailing.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While they offer good grip and comfort for casual wear and light activities, they are designed more for style and everyday use rather than high-performance athletics. They lack the advanced support and cushioning of modern specialized sports shoes.

How should I clean my suede Paris shoes?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid using water, as it can damage the suede. Always allow them to air dry.

What does 'City Series' refer to?

The 'City Series' was a collection of popular adidas shoes released in the 1970s and 80s, each named after major European cities. The Paris model is a revival from this celebrated line.

What is the color combination of this specific model?

This model features a 'Grey Four' suede upper with black accents on the heel tab and signature 3-Stripes, complemented by a gum rubber sole.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather, as moisture can easily stain and damage the material. Applying a protective spray can offer some resistance, but caution is advised.

Troubleshooting

Suede color appears faded or dull.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and color. A suede cleaner can help revive faded areas.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear. Consider using thicker socks initially if they are slightly loose.

Sole is separating slightly.

For minor separation, a flexible adhesive designed for footwear may be used. For significant issues, consult a professional cobbler.

Water stains on the suede.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, attempt to brush out the stain with a suede brush or use a suede eraser. Preventative sprays are recommended for future wear.
