FAQs

What is the origin of the adidas Originals Japan trainers?

These trainers are inspired by a model originally released in 1964 to coincide with the Tokyo Olympics, celebrating a significant moment in sporting history.

What materials are the trainers made from?

The trainers feature a tumbled, perforated 'Off White' leather upper with a double-stitch suede T-toe and a durable rubber outsole.

How should I clean the leather and suede parts?

For leather, use a damp cloth. For suede, use a suede brush. Avoid excessive water on suede. Specific leather and suede cleaners can be used carefully.

Are these suitable for running or sports?

While inspired by training origins, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and everyday comfort, not high-performance athletic activities.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

It is recommended to check the size chart provided by adidas or measure your foot accurately. These trainers are available in UK adult sizes.

Do they come in other colors?

This specific model is presented in a White colorway with Red accents. Other variations might exist within the adidas Originals Japan series.

What is the fit like?

They are classic low-profile trainers. Many users find them to have a standard fit, but due to material variations, trying them on or consulting sizing guides is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Stiffness during initial wear

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the leather and suede to soften and mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Leather scuffs or marks

For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a soft cloth dampened with water. For more significant marks, consult a professional leather care product.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary, used according to product instructions.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole provides grip, but performance can vary on wet or highly polished surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For increased grip, consider aftermarket sole grips.
