FAQs
What materials are the adidas Originals Italia 70s made from?
These trainers feature a `smooth leather upper` with a `suede T-toe`, a `smooth synthetic lining`, and a `grippy gum rubber outsole`.
Are these trainers suitable for sports or athletic activities?
No, while they draw inspiration from sporting heritage, the Italia 70s are designed for `casual wear` and `street style`. They are not built for performance sports.
How do I clean the white leather on these trainers?
For routine cleaning, wipe the `leather upper` with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they are designed with a `regular fit` and typically run true to their stated `size_adult_foot_uk`.
What is the significance of the 'Italia' branding?
The `Gold Italia wordmark` and overall design revisit the classic adidas Italia shoes from the 1960s and 1970s, celebrating a rich period of adidas's design history.
Is the sole slippery?
The `grippy gum rubber outsole` is designed to provide reliable traction on typical urban surfaces, offering good stability for everyday use.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the `leather upper` offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and condition the leather afterward. A leather protector spray can also help.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or marks on the leather upper
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper marks, use a small amount of specialized leather cleaner. Follow up with a leather conditioner to moisturize the material.
Dirty or discolored gum outsole
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush can help remove dirt from textured areas, then wipe clean.
Suede T-toe appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using liquid cleaners on suede unless specifically designed for it.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the `lace closure` to achieve a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct `size_adult_foot_uk` for optimal comfort. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to break them in.
Odor develops inside the shoe
Ensure shoes are fully dry after wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Allow them to air out regularly.

Care Instructions
Maintaining the `smooth leather upper` is key to preserving the vintage look and longevity of your Italia 70s trainers.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality leather protector spray. This can help repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: After wear, gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks on the `Footwear White` leather, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth.
- Suede Care: The `suede T-toe` requires a different approach. Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid getting suede wet if possible.
- Outsole Cleaning: Clean the `gum rubber outsole` with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain its grip and appearance.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can dry out and crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically (e.g., every few months, depending on wear) apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
