FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing football or other sports?
No, the adidas Originals Gazelle x Manchester United trainers are designed for casual, everyday wear and lifestyle purposes, not for athletic performance or high-impact sports. Using them for sports may lead to premature wear and tear.
How do I best protect the suede from water and stains?
We recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray specifically designed for footwear before your first wear. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
What is the fit like for these Gazelle trainers?
These trainers feature a 'regular fit', which is designed to accommodate most foot shapes comfortably. If you typically wear a specific size in adidas trainers, you should find a similar fit with these. Info needed: [Guidance on whether to size up/down if between sizes, or if true to size]
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, washing machine use is strongly discouraged for suede trainers as it can severely damage the material, colors, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the care section.
What does 'OG proportions' mean in the description?
'OG proportions' refers to the original, authentic dimensions and shape of the Gazelle design from 1991. This ensures the reissue accurately reflects the vintage aesthetic that made the original so popular.
How do I clean the white rubber sole edges?
You can clean the rubber sole edges using a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution. Gently scrub the rubber and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid getting cleaning solutions on the suede upper.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser can help lift dirt and restore texture.
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing. For a slightly tighter fit, try lacing through all eyelets and cinching firmly. For more room, loosen the laces and ensure the tongue is centered. The 'regular fit' is designed for average foot widths.
Light stains or scuffs on the suede
Gently rub the stained area with a suede eraser. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth (do not rub) and then use a specialized suede cleaner if necessary, following product instructions carefully.

Product Care
Suede Upper Care:
The suede material is delicate and requires specific attention to maintain its appearance.
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a quality suede protector spray before first wear to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner specifically designed for the material. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Water: Suede can be damaged by water. If they get wet, blot gently with a clean cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat. Do not rub.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help them maintain their shape.
Outsole Care:
- Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. For deeper cleaning, a soft brush and mild soap can be used.
Laces Care:
- Laces can be hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried.
