FAQs

What material is the upper made from?

The upper of the adidas Originals Japan shoes is constructed from premium tumbled leather, providing a soft and durable finish.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Originals Japan shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They do not offer the specialized support, cushioning, or performance features required for intense running or athletic sports.

How do I clean the yellow leather?

For basic cleaning, wipe the yellow tumbled leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for light-colored leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the fit like for the adidas Originals Japan?

The adidas Originals Japan typically offers a standard, comfortable fit for everyday wear. The tumbled leather upper will conform to your foot over time for a personalized feel. It's generally recommended to choose your usual size.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some natural resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's advisable to avoid heavy rain or puddles to protect the leather. Applying a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather can add an extra layer of protection.

Do the perforations go all the way through?

Yes, the perforations on the toe box and midfoot are designed to provide genuine ventilation, allowing for airflow to help keep your feet cool and comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the tumbled leather to break in naturally. For persistent stiffness, a leather conditioner can help soften the material.

Shoes developing scuffs or minor marks

Gently clean scuffs with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather cleaner or a leather repair balm specific to your shoe's color and material. Regular conditioning helps protect the surface.

Foul odor developing inside the shoe

Ensure shoes are fully air-dried after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to prevent sweat build-up.

Laces constantly untying

Try double-knotting your laces for extra security. You can also replace the laces with new ones that have a different texture, or consider specific lacing techniques designed for better security.

  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking. Follow the conditioner manufacturer's instructions.
