Product Information
Full details
These Adidas x Song For The Mute Tokyo trainers are designed for adults seeking refined utility and quiet craftsmanship in their footwear. The key benefit is a contemporary, pared-down silhouette that prioritizes texture and material choice, drawing from archival running influences. A potential caveat is that the unique design and premium materials may require specific care to maintain their appearance. This collaboration reimagines the archival Tokyo silhouette with a 'Bluebird' nylon upper, suede accents, and a slimline rubber sole, offering a blend of vintage inspiration and modern aesthetics.

Troubleshooting
Discoloration on suede or nylon
Gently clean the affected area with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner. Avoid excessive moisture.
Paint spatters are fading
The paint spatters are a design element; avoid aggressive cleaning in these areas. If fading is a concern, consider them part of the shoe's evolving aesthetic.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean. For initial use, minor slippage might occur until the soles wear in. Test on a safe surface.
