Troubleshooting
Scuffs on leather or suede.
For leather, try a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth. For suede, use a suede eraser or brush to lift marks. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Gum sole becoming sticky or discolored.
Clean the sole with mild soap and water. Avoid exposure to excessive heat or harsh chemicals, which can degrade the rubber over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: The adidas Originals Japan is designed for adult males and is compatible with standard UK shoe sizing. It pairs well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, chinos, and casual trousers.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your adidas Japan shoes:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For suede areas, use a specialized suede brush. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the suede elements.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and alter the shape.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to prevent dust accumulation and maintain their shape.
