FAQs
What makes these Gazelles unique?
These trainers are a collaboration between adidas and Wales Bonner, featuring a luxurious brown pony hair upper with off-white leather accents and croc-embossed details, offering a high-fashion take on the classic Gazelle silhouette.
How should I clean the pony hair?
Gently brush the pony hair with a soft brush. For stains, use a specialized pony hair cleaner sparingly. Always brush in the direction of the hair.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in wet weather due to the delicate nature of the pony hair and leather materials, which can be damaged by excessive moisture.
What are the materials used?
The upper is primarily constructed from brown pony hair and leather accents, including croc-embossed details. The sole is made of rubber (gum outsole), and the laces are rope.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
These trainers are designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not intended for rigorous athletic performance.
What size is this specific guide referencing?
This guide specifically references the product in UK Size 6 for adults.
How do I care for the leather parts?
Wipe leather areas with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Use a leather conditioner periodically to maintain softness and prevent cracking.
Troubleshooting
Pony hair appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the pony hair with a soft, dry brush, following the direction of the hair. For persistent dirt, use a cleaner specifically designed for pony hair, applying sparingly with a soft cloth.
Leather accents show scuffs or dryness
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. For deep scuffs, a colored leather cream might be necessary.
Gum outsole has marks
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher marks, a white eraser or a magic eraser can be effective if used gently, being careful not to damage the surrounding materials.
Laces are dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
