FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

No, these trainers are designed as lifestyle footwear. While inspired by athletic heritage, they are not built for high-impact sports or running.

How do I clean the nubuck material?

Use a suede brush or eraser for dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid soaking the material.

What does 'T-toe' design refer to?

The T-toe design is a specific shape on the front of the shoe, resembling the letter 'T', which was a distinctive feature of the original 1964 model.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, it is recommended to wear these trainers with socks for comfort and hygiene, especially for extended wear.

What is the main difference between this reissue and modern trainers?

This reissue focuses on authentic vintage aesthetics and materials. Modern trainers often incorporate advanced cushioning technology and synthetic materials for performance, which are less prominent in this heritage design.

How should I store my adidas Japan Trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the original box or a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and maintain their shape.

Are these trainers available in other colors or sizes?

This specific model is presented in Shadow Red / Magic Beige. Other colorways and sizes of the Japan series may be available under different product listings.

Troubleshooting

Nubuck appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the nubuck with a dedicated suede brush or a clean toothbrush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, use a suede eraser.

Creasing on the leather overlays

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Gentle conditioning can also help maintain suppleness.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the sole is clean and dry. For initial wear, the sole may be slightly slick; light use will typically break it in. If the issue persists, consider a non-slip sole treatment or consult a cobbler.

Sizing feels off

Refer to the detailed sizing chart and measure your foot accurately. If still uncertain, consider trying them on in-store or consult customer reviews regarding fit. For this specific model, it is recommended to check if it runs true to size or if sizing up/down is advised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  1. Cleaning Nubuck: Use a soft brush or suede eraser to remove dirt and maintain the texture. For tougher stains, a damp cloth (not wet) can be used sparingly, followed by air drying away from direct heat.
  2. Leather Overlays: Wipe with a clean, dry cloth. For occasional conditioning, use a leather conditioner suitable for delicate leathers.
  3. Sole: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect from dust and moisture.
