What colour are the 3-Stripes and heel?

The 3-Stripes and heel detailing are in 'Victory Red'.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

No, these shoes are designed for casual wear and lifestyle, not for athletic performance like running.

How do I clean the gum rubber sole?

Wipe the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

What does the gold foil on the side signify?

The gold foil wordmark features 'adidas JAPAN', adding a vintage detail.

What is the benefit of the heel pull tab?

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, the gum sole may become slippery in wet conditions. It's best to exercise caution or avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural for leather. To minimize creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Gum sole appears to be losing grip

Ensure the sole is clean. Dirt or debris can affect traction. If the issue persists, the sole may be worn down and may require professional assessment.

Discoloration on the leather

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with appropriate leather cleaners and conditioners. For specific color issues, consult a professional shoe care specialist.
