FAQs

What materials are these trainers made from?

The upper is made from smooth leather with suede accents, while the lining is synthetic, and the outsole is grippy gum rubber.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed for casual, everyday wear and style. They are not intended for high-performance running or sports activities that require specialized athletic footwear.

How do I best clean the white leather?

For routine cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a dedicated white leather cleaner with a soft brush, and then wipe clean with a fresh, damp cloth. Always air dry.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

Info needed: Please consult adidas's official size guide or customer reviews for specific fit recommendations, as sizing can sometimes vary. Generally, adidas Originals tend to be consistent, but individual foot shape plays a role.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, especially for the suede parts. Using a water-repellent spray can offer additional protection.

What does the 'Gold Italia wordmark' signify?

The Gold Italia wordmark is a signature design element that pays homage to the shoe's heritage and the classic Italia series, adding an authentic vintage touch.

Troubleshooting

White leather appears dull or dirty

Regularly wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a white leather cleaner or a sneaker cleaning solution applied with a soft brush, then wipe clean.

Suede accents look matted or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap. For stains, gently use a suede eraser. Avoid getting suede wet, as it can be difficult to clean once soaked.

Unpleasant odor from inside the trainers

Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight, then shake out the excess.

Soles losing grip or collecting dirt

Clean the gum rubber outsole with warm water and a mild soap, using a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) to scrub away dirt and maintain traction.

Scuffs or minor abrasions on the leather

For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a damp cloth. Deeper scuffs might benefit from a leather conditioner or a specialized white leather polish/cream to blend them in.

Care Instructions

Maintaining the pristine look of your adidas Originals Italia 70s, especially the white leather and suede, is key for longevity.

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather and suede protector spray before first wear to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning (Leather): Wipe down the smooth leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner following the product's instructions.
  3. Suede Care: Gently brush suede accents with a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or cleaner sparingly.
  4. Outsole: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a mild soap solution and a brush to remove grime and maintain grip.
  5. Laces: Remove and hand-wash laces separately if they become dirty.
  6. Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and discoloration.
