Troubleshooting
Yellow leather appears dull or dirty
Clean the leather with a soft cloth and a dedicated leather shoe cleaner. Finish with a leather conditioner to restore shine and moisture. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools.
Shoes feel too stiff
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Leather will soften and conform to your foot over time.
Loss of grip on the outsole
Ensure the rubber outsoles are clean of dirt and debris. Use a stiff brush and water to scrub the tread. If the tread is significantly worn down, the grip will naturally diminish with age and use.
Creasing in the leather upper
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize excessive creasing, use shoe trees when storing your shoes. Regular conditioning can also help keep the leather supple.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather adidas Originals Japan shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the leather surface. For more stubborn marks, use a cleaner specifically formulated for leather shoes. Apply the cleaner to a soft cloth, not directly to the shoe, and rub gently.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Always test any new product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can strip the leather's natural oils and cause damage or discoloration.
- Outsole Care: Clean the rubber outsoles regularly with a stiff brush and mild soap and water to maintain grip and prevent debris buildup.
