Full details

This guide is for adult males seeking a stylish and comfortable low-top sneaker with a retro aesthetic. The key benefit is the blend of classic design with premium suede materials for versatile wear.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof. They are best worn in dry conditions. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

How do I clean the rubber sole?

Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.

What is the 'City Series'?

The 'City Series' is a collection of adidas sneakers launched in the 1970s, with each model inspired by a major European city. The Paris is one of these iconic designs.

Can I wear these for sports?

These shoes are designed for casual wear and light activity. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for most sports.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of premium 'Clay' suede.

How should I store these shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or bag, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

What is the 'Earth Strata' detail?

'Earth Strata' refers to the contrasting color and texture used on the heel tab and sidewall 3-Stripes, adding a distinct visual element to the shoe's design.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.

Shoes feel too tight.

Wear with thin socks initially. Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear. If still uncomfortable, consider if a larger size might be more suitable.

Rubber sole is scuffed.

Minor scuffs on the rubber sole can often be removed with a damp cloth or a specialized rubber cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Color transfer from suede.

This can sometimes occur with new suede. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider applying a suede protector spray. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until color transfer is no longer an issue.
