FAQs

What is the 'City Series'?

The 'City Series' is a collection of adidas shoes launched in the 1970s, each inspired by and named after major European cities. The Paris model is part of this iconic line, known for its classic designs and casual appeal.

What material are the adidas Originals Paris shoes made of?

The upper of these shoes is primarily made of suede, specifically in a 'Grey Four' color. The detailing, including the heel tab and 3-Stripes, is black.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the adidas Originals Paris are designed as lifestyle and casual wear shoes. They do not offer the necessary support or cushioning for athletic activities like running.

How do I clean the rubber sole?

You can clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe dry afterward.

What is the sole made of?

The shoes feature a streamlined, textured rubber sole unit for traction.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While they can handle light moisture, suede is not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain, and consider using a suede protector spray for added protection against water damage and stains.

What does 'low-profile' mean in this context?

A 'low-profile' shoe refers to its design that sits close to the ground, with a minimal amount of material around the ankle area, as opposed to high-top shoes that extend above the ankle.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.

Shoes feel slightly tight

Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house with medium-thickness socks to allow them to mold to your feet.

Color transfer from suede

This can happen when the suede is wet. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing and consider using a suede protector spray to minimize color bleeding.
