FAQs

What material are these trainers made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium leather, with suede accents on the toe. The outsole is made of rubber (gum).

Are these suitable for athletic activities?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday use. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean the suede. Brush in one direction to remove loose dirt, and use a suede eraser for tougher marks. Avoid water on suede.

What does 'Victory Red' and 'Magic Beige' refer to?

These refer to the specific colorway of the trainers. 'Victory Red' is the primary color of the leather upper, and 'Magic Beige' refers to the accent colors.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer and consider your typical shoe size. Many users find adidas trainers fit true to size, but checking measurements can help.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather can offer some protection, it is not waterproof. Excessive moisture can damage the leather and suede. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

What is the origin of the 'Japan' series trainers?

The 'Japan' series draws inspiration from vintage adidas designs originating in the 1960s, offering a retro aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a leather conditioner according to product instructions to restore moisture and flexibility.

Suede texture is matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner.

Outsole shows signs of wear

Regularly check the outsole for excessive wear. While gum soles offer good grip, they are subject to wear over time with heavy use.

Shoes feel slightly tight

Leather shoes can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially, or consider using a shoe tree to help them expand gradually.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
