FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of the adidas Campus 00s Core Black White is primarily made of premium black suede, with matte black leather used for the signature three stripes and heel tab.

How do I clean these shoes effectively?

Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally after cleaning.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, suede is not naturally waterproof. It is highly recommended to apply a suede protector spray before wearing them, especially in damp conditions, to help repel water and prevent stains.

What is the fit like for the Campus 00s?

The adidas Campus 00s generally offer a comfortable, true-to-size fit. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. The padded collar and tongue contribute to comfort.

When were these specific shoes released?

The adidas Campus 00s Core Black White (UK 6.5) was released on December 22, 2023.

Can I use these for sports or running?

While durable, the adidas Campus 00s are designed as lifestyle sneakers, not for athletic performance or running. They are best suited for casual wear and daily activities.

What kind of traction does the sole provide?

The black rubber outsole features a herringbone traction pattern, designed to provide reliable grip and stability on various urban surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This helps to lift dirt and restore the original texture and vibrancy of the suede.

Stains on the suede

For dry stains, try a suede eraser. For liquid stains, use a high-quality suede cleaning solution following the product instructions, applying it sparingly with a clean cloth and allowing to air dry naturally.

Shoes got wet and appear discolored or stiff

Stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry completely and naturally, away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap.

Laces are dirty or worn out

Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, then air dry. If severely worn, replace them with new laces of a similar style and length to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.

Uncomfortable fit or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow a short break-in period. Wear appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider trying different lacing techniques or consulting with a footwear specialist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Your adidas Campus 00s are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply unlace them to your desired looseness, slip your feet in, and tie them securely for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility

These sneakers are highly versatile due to their classic black and white colorway. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual apparel:

  • Apparel: Excellent match for denim jeans, chinos, shorts, cargo pants, and tracksuits. Can also complement skirts or dresses for a more urban aesthetic.
  • Seasons: Suitable for all seasons, though extra care is needed in wet conditions due to the suede material.
  • Occasions: Perfect for everyday wear, casual meetups, concerts, and street fashion statements.

Care Instructions

Maintaining the suede upper is crucial for the longevity and appearance of your Campus 00s.

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the spray's instructions.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt, dust, and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For specific stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner according to the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Water Exposure: Avoid heavy rain or puddles. If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as heat can damage suede.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or tissue paper inside to help maintain their shape.
