FAQs
Are these adidas Campus 00s true to size?
Generally, adidas Campus models are reported to fit true to size for most wearers. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting a comprehensive adidas size guide for the best fit.
How do I best clean the black suede upper to avoid damage?
For best results and to preserve the material, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt, a suede eraser for scuffs, and a protective spray to prevent future stains. Avoid soaking the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
Can I wear these shoes for sports or running activities?
The adidas Campus 00s is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. While comfortable for everyday walking, it is not engineered for athletic performance, running, or high-impact sports. Using them for such activities may lead to discomfort or premature wear.
What kind of traction does the sole provide?
The black rubber outsole features a classic herringbone traction pattern. This design provides reliable grip on typical urban and indoor surfaces, making them suitable for daily casual wear.
What primary materials are used in the construction of these shoes?
The upper is predominantly crafted from Core Black suede with matte leather accents on the 3-Stripes and heel tab. The interior features a black textile lining, and the sole unit is composed of a foam midsole and a rubber outsole.
When was this specific model, the adidas Campus 00s Core Black White, released?
This particular version of the adidas Campus 00s Core Black White was released on December 22, 2023.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull, matted, or has minor scuffs.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its nap and texture. For scuffs, use a suede eraser before brushing.
Shoes feel stiff or slightly uncomfortable during initial wear.
The shoes may need a 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations initially, as the suede and sole will soften and conform to your foot over time.
White stitching or branding on the 3-Stripes or heel tab looks dirty.
Use a small, soft-bristled brush (like a clean toothbrush) with a tiny amount of mild soap and water to gently scrub these specific areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth immediately afterwards.
An unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Ensure shoes are fully dry after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers, or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside and leave overnight, then shake it out completely before wearing. Consider rotating with other shoes to allow ample drying time.

Care
Given the suede upper, proper care is crucial to maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Suede Protection: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Cleaning Suede:
- Use a *suede brush* to gently remove loose dirt and debris. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- For tougher spots or scuffs, use a *suede eraser* to lightly rub away marks. Follow up with the brush.
- For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth, then let the shoe air dry completely before brushing.
- Avoid excessive water or harsh chemical cleaning agents, as they can permanently damage suede.
- Sole Cleaning: Wipe the rubber outsole and foam midsole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators) or direct sunlight, which can fade or crack materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture.
