FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The adidas Rekord Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. They are not engineered with the support and cushioning required for serious running or athletic training.

How should I clean the suede parts?

For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Avoid using water, as it can damage the suede.

What is the main material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of smooth leather, with suede overlays on the toe and heel tab for added detail and durability.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

This specific model, KJ1012, is presented in Black with White accents. Other colorways may be available within the adidas Rekord series or similar collections.

What does 'Gum Rubber Sole' mean for grip?

A gum rubber sole is known for its excellent grip on dry, indoor surfaces and clean, paved outdoor areas. It's a classic feature often found on retro trainers for reliable traction in everyday use.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their condition.

What is the MPN for this product?

The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) for this specific product variant is KJ1012.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe interior. Try removing the insole and reinserting it, or place a thin powder or paper towel under the insole.

Leather creases or scuffs easily

Creasing is natural with leather. For minor scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a matching color polish. Avoid storing the shoes in cramped spaces where they can be crushed.

Suede losing its texture

Use a suede brush regularly to lift the nap and remove dust. For matted areas, try brushing more firmly or using a suede eraser.

Gum sole discoloration

Gum soles can yellow over time, especially with exposure to sunlight. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth can help minimize this. Specialized sole cleaners might offer further options.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather Upper: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
  • Suede Elements: Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Protect with a suede protector spray if desired.
