FAQs

What materials are the adidas x Bruce Lee Jabbar Lo made from?

The shoes feature a premium napped yellow suede upper, with a leather collar lining for added comfort. The outsole is made from vintage rubber.

How do I clean my yellow suede shoes?

Regularly brush with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always apply a suede protector before first use and reapply periodically. Avoid soaking in water.

Are these shoes suitable for sports or athletic activities?

No, the adidas x Bruce Lee Jabbar Lo is designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe. It is not intended for sports, running, or rigorous physical activities.

What is the inspiration behind the design?

The design is inspired by Bruce Lee's iconic jumpsuit from the 1979 film 'Game of Death,' featuring a distinctive yellow colorway and contrast stripes.

Do these shoes run true to size?

They are designed to fit standard adult UK foot sizes. If you are unsure, it is generally recommended to consult adidas's official sizing chart or try them on.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is highly recommended to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Water can stain and damage suede. Always use a protective spray to help repel moisture.

Where is the autographical embroidery located?

The autographical embroidery is subtly placed on the rear lateral walls of the shoe, adding a unique and personal touch.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted

Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and lift away surface dirt. Brush in one direction to even out the texture.

Small dirt marks or scuffs on suede

Use a suede eraser to gently rub away the marks. For tougher spots, a slightly damp cloth can be used with a small amount of suede cleaner, followed by brushing once dry.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially

This is a new shoe, and it may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. The leather collar lining should conform to your foot over time. Ensure you have the correct size for your UK adult foot size.

Slight discoloration after exposure to elements

Apply a good quality suede protector regularly. If discoloration occurs, try a specialized suede dye or cleaner, but always test on a hidden area first. Prevention is key.

Vintage rubber outsole becomes dirty

Clean the rubber outsole with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn grime, a shoe sole cleaner can be effective.

Product Care

Given the premium napped yellow suede upper, proper care is crucial to maintain the aesthetic and longevity of your Jabbar Lo sneakers.

  1. Suede Protector Application: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per the product's instructions.
  2. Regular Brushing: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For small stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth with water (or a specialized suede cleaner) and gently blot the area. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can damage the nap. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  4. Deep Cleaning (Rarely): If significant cleaning is needed, use a suede cleaning solution specifically designed for the material. Always follow the product instructions carefully and test on an inconspicuous area first.
  5. Avoid Water Immersion: Do not submerge your suede sneakers in water, as this can damage the material and cause discoloration.
  6. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect against dust.
  7. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these will damage the suede and leather components.
