FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
While originally designed as a trainer, the Adidas Japan Leather Sneaker features a super-slim flat sole more suited for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities. For intensive running or high-impact sports, a shoe with more specialized cushioning and support would be recommended.
How do I best clean the yellow leather?
For the yellow leather, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild leather cleaner designed for colored leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first, and allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What is the benefit of the EVA midsole?
The textured EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and stability. It's designed to absorb impact and provide a supportive base, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some natural water resistance, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water is not recommended. Excessive moisture can damage the leather and affect the shoe's longevity. If they get wet, air dry them thoroughly.
Are these sneakers true to size?
Adidas Japan sneakers are generally considered to be true to size. We recommend ordering your usual Adidas shoe size for a comfortable fit.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
Given their classic design, these sneakers pair well with various sock styles. For a casual look, low-cut or no-show socks work well. For a more athletic or vintage feel, crew socks complement the sneaker's heritage aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather thoroughly and then apply a quality leather conditioner or balm. Buff gently with a soft cloth.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside, and then reinserting the insole.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of dirt, oil, or debris that might reduce traction. Use a damp cloth to wipe them down thoroughly.
Creasing developing on the toe box.
This is natural for leather, but to minimize it, use shoe trees when the sneakers are not being worn. Regular conditioning also helps keep the leather supple.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather sneakers.
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- For light dirt, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth.
- For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth.
- Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, which can damage the leather.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole:
- Wipe the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap (if needed).
- Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to clean grooves on the outsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage and shrinkage. Do not use a machine dryer.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
