FAQs

What materials are used in the upper of the Italia 70s?

The upper is crafted from smooth leather with a suede T-toe for a premium and durable finish, complemented by a smooth synthetic lining.

Is the fit true to size?

The adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed with a regular fit. Most users find them true to their standard UK size.

What kind of outsole do these trainers have?

They feature a grippy gum rubber outsole which provides excellent traction and adds to the shoe's classic aesthetic.

What is the inspiration behind the Italia 70s design?

The design is inspired by the classic Italia silhouette that rose to fame in the 60s and 70s, updated with contemporary elements while retaining its heritage look.

How do I identify genuine adidas Originals Italia 70s?

Look for characteristic details such as the serrated 3-Stripes, Trefoil branding, and a Gold Italia wordmark on the sides. The cross-detailed heel and rubber toe cap are also key design features.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While durable, the leather and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. It's recommended to avoid heavy rain and treat them with a water-repellent spray for better protection.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

The Italia 70s feature a lace closure. Adjust the lacing tightness to achieve a comfortable and secure regular fit. Ensure you selected the correct UK size.

Leather appears dull or dirty

Wipe the smooth leather upper with a damp, soft cloth. For a deeper clean, use a mild leather cleaner and then condition to restore shine and suppleness.

Suede T-toe looks matted or dusty

Use a suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective.

Foot discomfort during wear

While the shoes feature a synthetic lining and EVA midsole for comfort, consider wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, ensure the fit is correct and allow for a break-in period.

Care

To ensure your adidas Originals Italia 70s maintain their premium look and feel:

  3. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage.
  4. Conditioning: Apply a suitable leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a suede protector spray to guard against stains and moisture.
