FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for adidas Originals footwear.

Can I wash these in a machine?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede material and affect the structure of the shoes.

How do I protect the suede from rain?

Apply a high-quality suede-safe water repellent spray before wearing them in wet conditions.

Are these suitable for sports?

While originally designed for handball, they are primarily intended for lifestyle and casual fashion use today.

How do I clean the white sections?

Use a gentle suede eraser or a soft cloth slightly dampened with water, being careful not to soak the material.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dusty or matted

Use a soft-bristled brush or specialized suede cleaning tool to gently lift the nap of the fabric.

Laces are fraying

Replace with standard athletic laces of the same length and width to maintain the original look.

Minor scuffs on the gum sole

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soapy water to wipe the edges of the rubber outsole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic vintage aesthetic based on the original 1979 design
  • High-grip gum rubber outsole for reliable footing
  • Soft, premium suede material offers a luxurious feel
  • Versatile low-profile silhouette suitable for various styles

Cons

  • Suede material is susceptible to staining and water damage
  • Limited arch support compared to dedicated modern running shoes
  • Light-colored panels may require frequent cleaning to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shoes are ready to wear out of the box with a standard lace-up closure that allows you to customize the tightness for your preferred fit. To ensure longevity, we recommend using a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material. For best results, use a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede to add a protective layer against light moisture and environmental grime.
