FAQs
What material are the adidas Originals Japan sneakers made of?
The upper is constructed from 'Crew Yellow' tumbled leather, with a 'Core Black' herringbone rubber outsole.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities like running?
No, the adidas Originals Japan is a lifestyle sneaker designed as a reissue of a historic design. It is best suited for casual wear and light everyday activities, not for performance sports.
How do I clean the 'Crew Yellow' leather?
Gently clean the leather with a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and always allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Generally, adidas Originals shoes are considered to fit true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. (Info needed: Specific fit recommendations if available)
What is the significance of the 1964 design?
The 1964 design represents an early and influential silhouette in adidas's history, showcasing its foundational style and heritage. This specific model is a faithful reissue, bringing that classic look back.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
While leather offers some resistance, these shoes are not designed to be waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can damage the leather. A leather protector spray can offer some water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Apply a specialized leather conditioner to moisturize and restore the leather's natural sheen. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning.
Persistent stains on the yellow leather
For light stains, try a leather eraser. For tougher spots, a professional leather cleaner designed for light-colored leather may be necessary. Always spot-test in an inconspicuous area first.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the shoes
Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry after wear.
Outsole losing grip
Check the outsole for excessive wear. For minor issues, clean the herringbone pattern with a stiff brush to remove embedded dirt and debris that might be reducing traction.

Care Instructions
To ensure your adidas Originals Japan sneakers maintain their premium look and feel:
- Cleaning: For the 'Crew Yellow' tumbled leather, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Apply a specialized leather cleaner with a clean cloth, working in small sections. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the leather finish.
- Stain Removal: Address spills and stains immediately. For stubborn marks, a leather-specific eraser or cleaner can be effective.
- Drying: If wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can dry out and crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
