FAQs
Are the adidas Y-3 Kaiwa 'Shadow Green' suitable for running?
These sneakers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not built for high-impact athletic activities like running and may not provide adequate support or cushioning for such purposes.
How do I determine my correct size?

How do I clean the green upper material?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try them on again. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct for your foot. Some materials may require a short break-in period.
Color transfer onto socks or lighter clothing
This can occasionally happen with new dyed materials. Washing socks before first wear and allowing shoes to air out might help. Avoid prolonged contact with very light-colored or wet clothing.
Sole becoming detached
For minor detachment, a specialized shoe adhesive may be used. For significant separation, consult a professional shoe repair service or contact the retailer.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Standard sneaker laces are widely available.
