Product Information

Full details

These adidas Rekord Trainers are ideal for individuals seeking a classic, lightweight sneaker with a minimalist aesthetic. The key benefit is their versatile style, offering a refreshing alternative to bulkier footwear. A potential caveat is the suede construction, which may require more careful maintenance. These trainers feature a smooth leather upper, distinctive serrated 3-Stripes, a Trefoil logo on the heel, and a durable gum rubber sole, all contributing to their retro charm.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The adidas Rekord Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear. While they are lightweight and comfortable for walking, they do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for serious running or athletic training.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

What material is the main upper made of?

The main upper of these trainers is made from smooth leather, with additional suede overlays and toe cap.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The specific product information provided focuses on the black and white colorway. Availability of other colors may vary depending on the retailer and current product lines.

How durable is the gum rubber sole?

The gum rubber sole is known for its durability and provides good traction for everyday use. However, like all soles, it will show wear over time with consistent use.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, the suede components are not ideal for wet conditions. It is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet environments to preserve their materials.

Troubleshooting

Suede stains easily

Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and reapply periodically. Clean spills immediately with a dry cloth and use a specialized suede cleaner for stubborn marks.

Fit feels too tight or loose

Laces can be adjusted for a more customized fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size or using insoles for minor adjustments.

Tread wear on the gum sole

This is normal wear and tear with consistent use. For significant wear impacting grip, professional shoe repair may be an option, though replacement is often more practical for casual trainers.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing in unnatural areas. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
