What does 'Adiprene' midsole mean for comfort?

Adiprene is an Adidas cushioning technology designed to provide comfort and shock absorption, making the shoe suitable for all-day wear.

Can men and women wear these trainers?

Yes, these trainers are designed with a unisex appeal for adults.

The original retail price for these trainers was $200.

When were these trainers released?

Troubleshooting

Laces not staying tied

Ensure laces are double-knotted. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with a mild cleaner, then allow to air dry and brush again.

Foot feels too tight

Loosen the laces, especially around the ankle area, to adjust the fit. Ensure you are using the correct shoe size; consult a sizing guide if unsure.

Discoloration on the gum sole

Minor scuffs can often be cleaned with a magic eraser or a damp cloth. For deeper stains, specialized sole cleaners might be needed.
