Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals Gazelle C/DURA trainers are designed for adult men who value a blend of classic 1960s sports aesthetics and modern, high-performance material durability. These shoes serve as an ideal everyday companion for those seeking a stylish, low-profile silhouette that can withstand rigorous daily use thanks to the integration of Cordura textile and premium suede. While they offer exceptional abrasion resistance and water repellency, users should note that the suede components require specific maintenance to keep the material looking its best over time.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Cordura material is water-repellent, meaning it handles light moisture well, but it is not fully waterproof.

How do these fit compared to standard Gazelles?

They feature the standard adidas Originals fit. If you have previously owned Gazelles, you should stick to your usual size.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the combination of suede and adhesives can be damaged by agitation and heat.

What is the primary difference between the C/DURA and standard models?

The C/DURA version includes heavy-duty Cordura textile panels for enhanced abrasion and tear resistance compared to standard leather or suede models.

Do the gum soles leave marks?

No, the gum rubber outsole is non-marking and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is a hybrid construction of heavy-duty Cordura textile for the main panels and premium suede for the toe and eyestay.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or shiny

Use a suede brush or a clean pencil eraser to gently rub the affected area to restore the nap.

Cordura material has light scuffs

Wipe the area with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then allow it to air dry fully.

Laces coming untied frequently

Ensure they are laced tightly through all eyelets and consider a double-knot if the round laces feel slippery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gazelle C/DURA trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:

Initial Protection: Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and synthetic textiles before first use.
Cleaning: For the Cordura sections, use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to remove surface dirt. For the suede toe and eyestay, use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers naturally. Never place them directly on radiators or use a blow dryer, as extreme heat can warp the rubber outsole and dry out the suede, causing it to crack.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the Night Indigo fabric.
