FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from smoky nubuck with 'Core Black' accents.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and general comfort, not for high-performance running. They feature EVA cushioning and rubber outsoles suitable for everyday activities.

How do I clean the silver foil 'Italia' wordmark?

Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this could damage the foil detailing.

What is the main benefit of the EVA cushioning?

The EVA cushioning provides lightweight comfort for extended wear, absorbing impact during walking and daily activities.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some grip, nubuck is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.

What size should I order?

Refer to the product's size guide for accurate measurements. These trainers are listed in UK adult male sizes.

What is the difference between this and other adidas Originals trainers?

The Italia 70s specifically revives a vintage training silhouette from the 1970s, focusing on heritage materials like nubuck and classic design elements, distinguishing it from more modern or specialized athletic models.

Troubleshooting

Nubuck material appears dull or dirty.

Use a dedicated nubuck brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the material's texture. For stubborn marks, use a specialized nubuck cleaner as per product instructions.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For new shoes, the outsole may require a short break-in period. If slippage persists on very smooth surfaces, consider the limitations of rubber outsoles in such conditions.

Shoelaces wear out quickly.

Replace laces with a similar-length pair. Consider using laces made from more durable materials if frequent replacement is a concern.

Color transfer from black accents.

This is rare but can occur with prolonged friction or moisture. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing with light-colored socks. A fabric protector spray (tested on an inconspicuous area first) might offer some prevention.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. Available in various UK sizes. Pairs well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and track pants.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Nubuck: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized nubuck cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by brushing to restore the nap.
  2. Cleaning Accents and Outsole: Wipe the 'Core Black' accents and rubber outsole with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  3. Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources if they become wet.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect from dust and moisture.
