FAQs
Are the adidas Tokyo Trainers suitable for running?
No, the adidas Tokyo Trainers are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for casual wear and fashion. They are not built with the advanced technology and support required for serious running or athletic training.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for general cleaning and dirt removal. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first and avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What does the 'Tokyo' in the name signify?
The 'Tokyo' designation refers to the shoe's origin as a track and field shoe designed by adidas for the 1964 Olympic Games, which were held in Tokyo, Japan.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What are the main materials used in these trainers?
The primary materials are a suede upper in Core Black and leather accents for the Three Stripes and heel. The sole is made of gum rubber.
How does the sizing run for these trainers?
These trainers generally run true to size for most wearers. It is always recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
What is the sole design inspired by?
The sole is inspired by vintage track and field shoe designs from the 1960s, specifically featuring a minimalist gum rubber sole with a distinct curved silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the gum rubber soles are clean. If the issue persists, they may perform differently on wet or highly polished surfaces. Consider a shoe grip enhancer if needed for specific conditions.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. You can find replacements at shoe stores or online retailers.
Discomfort during initial wear
Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure you have the correct size; the shoes should fit snugly but not be too tight.
