FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for high-impact sports?

While they feature impact cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and skate-inspired shoes, not professional-grade court performance sneakers.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive bonds in the sole. Always clean by hand.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adidas sizing. We recommend checking your usual UK size preference for a comfortable fit.

How do I protect the suede from rain?

Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before wearing them in inclement weather.

What is the primary benefit of the cupsole construction?

The cupsole provides greater support, durability, and impact protection compared to traditional vulcanized soles.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dusty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material in a circular motion.

Stains on the suede surface

Use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub the affected area, then brush the particles away.

Outsole losing grip due to debris

Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove compacted dirt or oil build-up.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability due to reinforced toe and stitching
  • Superior impact protection via moulded EVA sockliner
  • Reliable traction provided by the gum rubber outsole
  • Classic, timeless silhouette suitable for casual and active contexts

Cons

  • Suede material is susceptible to staining and water damage
  • Requires more maintenance than synthetic or leather counterparts
  • Limited to specific colorway preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these shoes are crafted from premium suede, proper maintenance is vital for longevity. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the suede of its texture and color. For routine maintenance, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt after each wear. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material. To preserve the shape, insert a wooden or paper shoe tree when not in use. Ensure you check your specific UK size, as the Centennial 85 Low ADV is designed with a consistent fit profile across the series.
