FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are heritage-style trainers designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-impact athletic running.

How do I determine my size?

These trainers use standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot while standing to ensure the most accurate fit.

Can these be worn in the rain?

While durable, the leather construction is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wet conditions to maintain the longevity of the leather.

Does the gold foil branding wear off?

Like any printed detail, it may fade over a long period depending on usage and cleaning frequency. Avoid using harsh chemicals near the branding.

What is the inspiration behind the Japan model?

The model is a reissue inspired by the iconic 1964 sporting silhouette, celebrating historic craftsmanship and global sporting heritage.

Is the sole non-marking?

The rubber gum outsole is designed for standard urban surfaces; however, avoid scuffing them against light-coloured delicate floors.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather upper

Use a cedar shoe tree when not in use to maintain the shoe's shape and reduce permanent creasing.

Scuff marks on the leather

Gently rub the area with a leather eraser or a matching colour leather polish to buff out minor surface marks.

Loss of traction over time

Check the herringbone tread for debris or small stones that may be stuck in the grooves; clean with a brush to restore grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic 1964 retro aesthetic
  • High-quality leather construction
  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear
  • Reliable traction from the herringbone tread

Cons

  • Minimalist support may not suit intensive sports
  • Leather requires periodic care to prevent scuffs
  • Limited cushioning compared to modern running shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas Japan Trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure you select the correct UK sizing for your foot profile, as these are designed with a streamlined, low-profile fit.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap, but avoid soaking the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a leather-specific conditioner occasionally to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
  4. Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources and store in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from drying out or the colours from fading.
