FAQs

What is the 'City Series'?

The 'City Series' is a collection of adidas shoes released in the 1970s and 80s, each named after a major European city. They are known for their simple, low-profile designs and often feature suede or nylon uppers.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the adidas Originals Paris is a casual lifestyle shoe. It is not designed for athletic performance activities like running, which require specialized support and cushioning.

How do I clean the black 3-Stripes and heel tab?

These parts are typically made of synthetic material or leather. You can wipe them clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the color or material.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the suede can be treated with a protector spray, it is generally advisable to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions as they can be prone to staining and damage.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of rubber, providing durability and grip suitable for casual wear.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

The adidas Originals Paris has been released in various colorways throughout its history as part of the 'City Series'. This specific guide focuses on the Grey Four/Core Black/Gum4 colorway.

What is the primary material of the shoe?

The primary material for the upper of this shoe is suede.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears discolored or stained

Use a suede eraser to gently remove the stain. For persistent marks, try a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear. If they are significantly too small, consider if they are the correct size. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to break them in.

Rubber sole is dirty or scuffed

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but use with caution to avoid damaging other parts of the shoe.

Laces are worn or dirty

Replace laces with a new pair of a similar color and length for a fresh look. Clean existing laces by hand washing them with mild detergent and air drying.
