FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The adidas Campus 80s generally fit true to size, but if you prefer a roomier fit for thicker socks, some users recommend going up a half size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines can permanently damage the suede material and affect the adhesive used in the sole construction.
Is this a limited edition release?
Yes, as a collaboration with XLARGE, these models are part of a special release series.
What is the best way to clean the black accents?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap for the leather details, ensuring you do not get moisture on the suede sections.
Are these suitable for sports?
These are lifestyle trainers. While they are durable, they lack the technical support and cushioning required for high-impact sports like basketball or running.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the upper material
Use a dry suede eraser to gently rub the affected area until the mark lifts.
Water spots or light stains
Allow the shoe to air dry completely, then use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Laces becoming untied
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and consider a double-knot if the factory lace material is particularly slippery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no "setup" other than standard lacing to your preferred tension. When it comes to compatibility, the low-profile silhouette works exceptionally well with tapered jeans, chinos, or shorts.
To care for your trainers:
- Protective Spray: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede/nubuck before the first wear.
- Dry Brushing: Use a soft-bristled brush after every few wears to remove surface dust and prevent dirt from setting into the material.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the purple dye to fade over time.
- Stain Removal: Use a specialized suede eraser for minor scuffs rather than attempting to wash the shoes with water and soap.
