FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The adidas Originals Italia 70s trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for specialized athletic performance like running. They offer good cushioning for walking but lack the specific support and features of dedicated running shoes.

How do I clean the nubuck material?

Clean nubuck with a specialized nubuck cleaner and a suede brush. Gently brush away dirt and use the cleaner as directed. Avoid water and harsh detergents.

What is the primary material of these trainers?

The primary material for the upper is premium nubuck leather, complemented by 'Core Black' accents and a rubber outsole.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While they have a rubber toe bumper and outsole, nubuck is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to use a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to maintain the material's condition.

What does the 'Italia 70s' designation refer to?

This designation refers to the vintage inspiration of the trainers, harking back to all-purpose training footwear designs from the 1970s.

How do the silver foil 'Italia' wordmarks hold up?

The silver foil wordmarks are a design element. While generally durable for fashion footwear, excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning could potentially affect their appearance over time.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from soles

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Ensure the shoes are dry and may resolve with wear. If persistent, try a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Nubuck material scuffing

Gently use a suede brush to buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, a nubuck eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.

Fit feels too snug

Leather can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them with medium-thickness socks for a few hours each day. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For the nubuck upper, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and a suede brush to gently remove dirt and maintain the texture. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
