FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The Manchester United x Adidas Gazelle Black is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for high-performance sports or intense physical activity.
How do I know my size?
Adidas Gazelles typically run true to size. It is recommended to try them on or refer to the official Adidas size chart. If between sizes, consider your preference for a snug or slightly looser fit.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these shoes, especially due to the cotton material. It can damage the shoe's structure, fabric, and color. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions provided in the care section.
Is the Manchester United branding prominent?
The product title implies a collaboration. Typically, Adidas collaboration shoes feature subtle co-branding. Check product images for specific branding details.
What is the primary material?
The primary upper material for this specific variant is listed as cotton, offering a distinct texture and feel compared to traditional suede or leather Gazelles.
How do I protect the cotton material from water?
While cotton is not inherently waterproof, you can apply a water-repellent spray designed for fabric footwear to offer some protection against light moisture. Always test the spray on an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear dirty or stained
Gently clean with a mild soap and water solution, using a soft cloth or brush, and air dry. For stubborn stains, specialized fabric cleaners may be used with caution.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you've selected the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to achieve a more comfortable fit. If discomfort persists, consider exchanging for a different size.
Unpleasant odor
Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear.
Material fading or wear
This is normal with extended use. To minimize, clean regularly and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Consider fabric protectants for color preservation.

Care & Maintenance
The cotton material requires specific care to maintain its look and longevity.

- Drying: Air dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuff paper towels inside to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Protection: Consider using a fabric protector spray specifically designed for cotton or textile shoes to help repel water and stains. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
