FAQs

What materials are the adidas Originals Italia 70s trainers made from?

These trainers feature a premium 'Night Indigo' leather upper with soft suede overlays, a synthetic lining, and a rubber outsole with a dual-toned EVA midsole.

Are these trainers suitable for running or other sports?

No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed as a casual, fashion-forward trainer inspired by vintage football styles. They are not built for high-performance sports like running or intense athletic activities.

How do I determine the correct size?

adidas trainers generally run true to size. We recommend trying them on if possible or referring to the adidas official size guide. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a snug or slightly looser fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, it is strongly advised not to machine wash these trainers. The leather and suede materials can be damaged by water and detergent, leading to shrinking, cracking, or discoloration. Follow the specific care instructions for leather and suede cleaning.

What is 'Night Indigo' colour?

'Night Indigo' is a deep, rich shade of blue that provides a sophisticated and versatile alternative to standard navy or black, offering a distinctive look to your footwear.

How can I protect my trainers from water and stains?

To protect your trainers, apply a high-quality water and stain protector spray designed for both leather and suede before their first use. Reapply periodically as per the product's instructions for continuous protection.

Is the EVA midsole removable for custom orthotics?

The dual-toned EVA midsole in the Italia 70s is typically integrated and not designed to be removable. If you require orthotics, please check if they can comfortably fit on top of the existing footbed without compromising the shoe's fit.

Troubleshooting

Leather or suede appears dull/scuffed

For leather, clean with a specialized leather cleaner and condition to restore shine. For suede, use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove superficial dirt; a suede eraser can tackle stubborn marks.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

These trainers, especially with leather, may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to mold to your feet. Thicker socks can also help during this phase.

Unpleasant odor from inside the shoes

Remove insoles if possible and air out the shoes thoroughly after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight before shaking it out. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Stains on suede are difficult to remove

For tough suede stains, try a professional suede cleaning kit or take them to a shoe care specialist. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or harsh liquids as they can permanently damage the material.

Care Instructions

To ensure your premium leather and suede trainers maintain their appearance and longevity, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a universal leather and suede protector spray before first wear to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning (Leather): Wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth.
  3. Regular Cleaning (Suede): Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush away dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can leave marks.
  4. Spot Cleaning: Address spills or stains immediately. For leather, a mild soap solution on a damp cloth can work, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. For suede, use a suede cleaner formulated for spot treatment.
  5. Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and suede.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  7. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents.
