Product Information
Full details
The adidas Continental 80 is designed for adult men who appreciate a classic, retro-inspired aesthetic combined with reliable everyday comfort. Drawing inspiration from 1980s indoor court trainers, these shoes offer a versatile low-top silhouette that pairs effortlessly with casual attire; however, because they are modeled after vintage court styles, they lack the high-tech cushioning found in modern performance running footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Continental 80 is a lifestyle sneaker inspired by vintage court shoes and does not contain the advanced cushioning required for running.
How do I choose the right size?
The Continental 80 fits true to standard adult sizing. It is recommended to stick to your usual sneaker size.
Are they water-resistant?
While they can handle light exposure, they are not designed to be water-resistant or waterproof.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as the heat and agitation can damage the materials and adhesives.
What is the primary material used?
The Continental 80 series uses a combination of high-quality synthetic and/or leather uppers to mimic the classic 1980s aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white exterior
Use a soft brush to remove loose debris, followed by a damp cloth with a mild soap solution.
Creasing in the toe box
This is a natural occurrence in leather and synthetic trainers; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the structure.
Footbed discomfort
The included insole is standard; if you require more arch support, replace the existing insole with a third-party orthotic insert.
