FAQs
What material is the upper made of?

Do these shoes fit true to size?
The adidas Originals Italia 70s generally fit true to size for most individuals. If you are unsure or typically between sizes, it is often recommended to consider your standard adidas sizing or consult a size guide.
What does the 'Italia 70s' series name refer to?
The 'Italia 70s' refers to the shoe's design inspiration, which revisits and updates elements from iconic adidas Italia footwear from the 1960s and 1970s, celebrating a rich archival heritage.
Is the Grey color visible in the product name the only color available?
This specific product variant is in Grey as indicated in the title. The Italia 70s series, however, may be available in other colors and variants, often including classic adidas shades like Night Indigo, White, and Gum as mentioned in generic descriptions for the line.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner or balm. Buff gently with a clean, dry cloth.
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. For deeper scratches, a leather repair cream or polish in a matching color may be needed.
Slipping on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris that might reduce grip. While the rubber provides reliable traction, exercise caution on extremely wet or icy surfaces, as these are casual shoes, not specialized grip footwear.
