FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, the ADIDAS ORIGINALS Italia 70s trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They do not provide the necessary support or cushioning for athletic performance.
How should I clean the blue suede/textile parts?
For suede or textile areas, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, testing on a small area first. Avoid soaking the material.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is typically constructed from a combination of premium materials such as leather, synthetic overlays, and textile, designed to replicate the original retro look.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Generally, adidas trainers run true to size, but individual fit can vary. It is recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to water penetration and potential damage to the materials. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
What is the purpose of the gum sole?
The gum sole is a classic design element that provides durability and a distinctive retro aesthetic. It also offers good grip on most surfaces suitable for casual wear.
How does the colourway 'Blue/White' look in person?
The 'Blue/White' colourway features a vibrant blue as the primary colour, contrasted with crisp off-white detailing and accents, complemented by a light brown gum sole, creating an authentic vintage appearance.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually with short wear periods. Consider wearing thicker socks initially.
Color transfer from shoe to socks
This can sometimes occur with new footwear, especially darker colors. Wash socks separately for the first few wears. The issue often reduces after the shoes are worn a few times.
Difficulty cleaning the gum sole
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser sponge can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Creasing on the upper material
Creasing is a natural part of wear for leather and synthetic materials. Using shoe trees can help minimize creasing when the shoes are not being worn.
