FAQs
What material is the upper made from?
The upper of the adidas Originals Italia 70s is crafted from premium 'Night Indigo' leather, ensuring durability and a classic look.
Are these shoes suitable for sports or running?
No, the Italia 70s are designed as lifestyle sneakers with a retro aesthetic. While comfortable for everyday wear, they are not engineered for high-performance running or sports activities.
How do I best clean the white serrated 3-Stripes and heel detail?
For the white details, use a mild soap solution mixed with water and a soft brush or cloth. Gently scrub the white areas, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Adidas Originals typically fit true to size for most individuals. However, for the most accurate fit, we recommend consulting the official adidas size chart.
What makes the Italia 70s unique?
The Italia 70s stands out due to its faithful homage to the original adidas Italia silhouette from the '60s and '70s, updated with modern comfort features and premium materials like its Night Indigo leather upper and dual-coloured EVA midsole.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some natural resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions to protect the material. Applying a water-repellent leather protector can offer additional defense.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or shows minor scuffs
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or moisturizer to restore suppleness and reduce the appearance of scuffs. For scuffs, gently rub with a soft cloth after conditioning.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch underneath it. Ensure laces are tied securely.
Shoes feel too stiff during initial wear
New leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations (1-2 hours) initially, gradually increasing wear time to allow the leather to soften and mold to the shape of your feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Their unisex design (though specific sizing might be gendered) and classic aesthetic make them suitable for anyone appreciating vintage-inspired footwear. They complement casual outfits and are an ideal choice for daily wear.
Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Italia 70s:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a clean, damp cloth immediately after use to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to the product instructions.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the leather and midsole.
