FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports activities?

No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are primarily designed for casual wear and street style. While they offer comfort for daily activities, they are not engineered with the specialized support and cushioning required for running or high-impact sports.

How do I clean the white leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher stains, you can use a leather-specific cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat and sunlight.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The Italia 70s are designed with a regular fit. Most users find them true to their usual adidas shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying your usual size first.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to protect the leather. You can apply a suitable leather protector spray for added water resistance.

What is the significance of the 'Italia 70s' series?

The 'Italia 70s' series pays homage to the iconic adidas Italia shoe originally released in the 1960s and 70s. This model revisits that heritage, bringing vintage design elements, premium materials, and classic adidas styling to modern consumers.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

Given their low-profile design and casual nature, these shoes pair well with ankle-length socks or no-show socks for a clean, streamlined look. Standard crew socks are also suitable for a more traditional style.

Troubleshooting

White leather upper shows scuffs or dirt easily.

Regularly clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner according to its instructions. Prompt cleaning prevents stains from setting.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.

The premium leather may require a short break-in period to conform to your foot shape. Wear them for short periods initially and ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight. If discomfort persists, double-check your size.

Slippage on certain surfaces.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris that might reduce traction. For very slick surfaces, exercise caution as these are casual shoes, not specialized grip footwear.

Creasing appears on the leather after wear.

Creasing is a natural characteristic of genuine leather. To minimize excessive creasing, use shoe trees when storing the shoes and ensure proper fit to prevent unnecessary flexing. Regular conditioning can also help maintain leather suppleness.

Care

Maintaining the premium leather and overall appearance of your Italia 70s is key to their longevity:

  1. Regular Cleaning: For the white leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution to gently wipe away dirt and scuffs. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Spot Treatment: For stubborn marks, specialized leather cleaners designed for white leather can be used sparingly.
  3. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for white leather.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather and overall construction.
