FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the adidas Tokyo trainers?
The adidas Tokyo trainers are inspired by the brand's heritage, specifically designed as a track and field shoe for the 1964 Olympic Games held in Tokyo, Japan. They bring a piece of that athletic history into a modern lifestyle sneaker.
Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic performance?
No, these trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they have roots in track and field, their modern construction and vintage sole styling are best suited for everyday comfort and style, not intense athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede upper?
For best results, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid saturating the suede with water; if damp cleaning is necessary, use a lightly damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What is the significance of the gum rubber sole?
The gum rubber sole is a key design element that revives a long-unseen vintage styling from the original track and field shoe. It provides a distinctive retro aesthetic that complements the suede upper.
Are there other colorways or sizes available?
Yes, the adidas Tokyo series comes in various colorways and sizes, including options for both men and women. Please check the product listings for available variants.
What is the material of the Three Stripes branding?
The iconic adidas Three Stripes branding on the sides of these trainers is made of Cloud White leather, coordinating with the material used on the rear heel accent.
What does the 'Tokyo' branding signify?
The 'Tokyo' branding, often in metallic gold, references the shoe's historical connection to the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo and adds a premium finishing touch to the aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, consider a suede eraser.
White marks on the gum sole
Try using a standard pencil eraser to gently rub away the marks. For more embedded dirt, use a damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap, then wipe clean and air dry.
Laces are dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle. Air dry completely before re-lacing.
Color transfer from suede to socks
This can occur with new suede items. Ensure the shoes are dry and avoid wearing light-colored socks until some of the initial dye transfer has ceased. Protect the inside with a thin sock liner if necessary.
