FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from smoky nubuck with 'Core Black' accents and leather elements.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic training?

These trainers revive vintage all-purpose training shoe aesthetics and are suitable for light athletic activities and casual wear. For high-intensity or specialized training, dedicated athletic shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the nubuck material?

Use a soft brush for daily cleaning. For stains, a damp cloth with a mild, nubuck-specific leather cleaner is recommended. Avoid machine washing.

What is the cushioning system?

The trainers feature EVA cushioning in the midsole for comfort.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

This guide focuses on the Grey and Black variant. Please check product listings for other available colorways.

What does 'Italia 70s' refer to?

'Italia 70s' refers to the revival of a vintage adidas shoe design from the 1970s, inspired by classic training footwear.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole provides some grip, these trainers are not specifically designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Allow them to air dry completely if they get wet.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too tight or stiff.

Leather can stiffen over time. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Nubuck material looks dull or has marks.

Use a nubuck eraser or a soft brush to gently restore the texture and remove light marks. For more stubborn stains, consult a specialized leather cleaner suitable for nubuck.

Outsole grip feels reduced on wet surfaces.

While the rubber outsole offers good grip, traction on very wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. For extreme wet conditions, exercise caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup. They are designed for immediate wear.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for adult men.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Due to the nubuck and leather upper, it is recommended to use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, use a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for nubuck and leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
  • Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain their shape and protect the materials from dust and sunlight.
