FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the adidas Tobacco is a lifestyle sneaker designed for casual wear and does not provide the technical support or cushioning required for running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to clear debris. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede eraser or a light application of a suede cleaning solution.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is strongly recommended not to machine wash suede trainers, as the water and agitation will likely damage the material and affect the fit.
What is the origin of the Tobacco series?
The Tobacco series was first released in 1978 and is celebrated for its clean, understated design that draws inspiration from other iconic adidas court models.
Do these shoes stretch over time?
Suede is a natural material and will soften and slightly conform to your foot shape over time, but it will not stretch significantly.
Are these gender-specific?
While listed for specific sizes, the Tobacco is a unisex-style silhouette that works well for anyone who appreciates the vintage adidas look.
Troubleshooting
Water stains on the suede surface
Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat sources, then use a suede eraser or brush to gently lift the stain.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a wooden shoe tree when not in use to help the trainers maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.
Laces becoming frayed
Replace with standard flat cotton laces of a similar length to maintain the clean, classic look of the original design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Tobacco trainers remain in optimal condition, proper care is essential:
- Protective Spray: Apply a suede-specific water repellent spray before first wear to create a barrier against moisture and dirt.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dust and restore the nap of the material. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the red and brown tones to fade over time.
- Compatibility: These shoes fit true to standard adidas sizing for adults. If you are between sizes, consider trying a half-size up to account for the snug nature of the suede upper.
