FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas x Bruce Lee Jabbar Lo are designed as lifestyle and casual shoes. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities like running or sports.

How do I clean the yellow suede?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For spots, use a specialized suede eraser or a suede cleaner solution, testing first on an inconspicuous area. Avoid excessive water.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can be damaged by water. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the inspiration behind this design?

These shoes are inspired by the 1979 film "Game of Death" and pay homage to the late martial arts icon, Bruce Lee, particularly referencing his legendary yellow jumpsuit.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper features a premium napped yellow suede, offering a distinctive look and feel.

Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, with their leather collar lining and custom insoles, these shoes are designed to provide comfortable wear for casual, all-day use.

Do I need to treat the suede before wearing them?

It is highly recommended to apply a quality suede protector spray before your first wear to help repel water and stains, preserving the shoe's appearance.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in a consistent direction.

Water spots appear on suede

If already wet, allow to air dry completely. Then, use a suede brush to re-fluff the nap. For future prevention, use a waterproof spray.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Suede can stretch slightly with wear, but if discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width if available.

Soles show excessive wear quickly

While durable for casual use, these are not performance shoes. Avoid abrasive surfaces or activities that cause rapid sole degradation. Ensure regular cleaning to remove debris that might accelerate wear.

Color fading

Protect shoes from prolonged direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Use a suede protector. Fading can be a natural process over time for colored suede.

  • Casual Attire: Jeans, chinos, shorts, and track pants.
  • Streetwear: Hoodies, graphic tees, and bomber jackets.
  • Thematic Outfits: Can be incorporated into outfits that subtly or overtly reference martial arts or 70s/80s athletic wear.

Care Instructions

Maintaining the premium napped suede is crucial for the longevity and appearance of your Jabbar Lo shoes.

  1. Water & Stain Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor spots, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution with a clean cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Avoid Moisture: Keep suede shoes away from heavy rain or excessive moisture. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the suede.
