FAQs

What material are the adidas Originals Paris trainers made of?

The upper is primarily made of premium 'Core Black' suede, with contrasting white details and a rubber sole.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and offer comfort for daily activities. They are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid getting the suede wet, as this can damage it and cause discoloration.

What does 'City Series' mean in relation to these trainers?

The 'City Series' refers to a collection of adidas trainers launched in the 1970s, inspired by major cities. The Paris is a revival from this iconic line.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather, as moisture can damage the material, lead to stains, and alter its texture.

What is the typical fit of these trainers?

They are designed with a slim, low-profile silhouette typical of '70s trainers. They generally offer a standard fit, but comfort can vary based on individual foot shape.

How do I maintain the white stripes and heel tab?

The white details can usually be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the adjacent suede.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth, then brush to restore texture. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wear them for short periods to break them in. Using thicker socks can also help stretch them slightly. Consider using shoe stretchers if the tightness persists.

Rubber sole is losing grip

Clean the sole with soap and water to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. If the rubber is significantly worn down, professional refurbishment might be needed.

Color transfer from suede

This can occur if the suede is wet or new. Ensure socks are colorfast. If transfer is significant, allow the shoes to dry completely and use a suede protector spray designed to minimize color bleeding.
