FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Originals Japan is designed as a casual lifestyle shoe. It prioritizes vintage style and everyday comfort over athletic performance and is not recommended for running or sports activities.
How do I ensure the white leather stays clean?
Regularly wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. For more thorough cleaning, use a dedicated white leather cleaner. Applying a protective spray for leather can also help repel dirt and stains.
What materials are used in these shoes?
These shoes feature a premium white leather upper, 'Power Red' synthetic detailing, suede lining, and a durable rubber sole unit.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Info needed: Generally, adidas Originals models tend to fit true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. We recommend consulting adidas's official size guide or trying them on if possible.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
While the leather offers some protection, the suede components and white color are susceptible to water damage and staining. It's best to avoid heavy rain and consider applying a water-repellent spray for occasional light moisture.
What does 'aged midsole' mean?
The 'aged midsole' refers to an intentional design choice where the midsole is given a slightly off-white or vintage tint, mimicking the appearance of older, well-preserved sneakers. This enhances the shoe's retro aesthetic.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing over time.
Troubleshooting
White leather appears dull or stained.
Gently clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. For stubborn marks, use a white sneaker cleaner designed for leather. Regular cleaning prevents dirt build-up.
Suede areas look matted or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, gently use a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner, followed by brushing.
Sole has scuff marks or dirt.
Clean the rubber sole with a brush, warm water, and a mild soap. For persistent scuffs, a magic eraser can be effective.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Gold foil wordmark appears to be fading.
Avoid harsh scrubbing or chemical cleaners directly on the gold foil. Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Fading over time with wear is a natural characteristic of foil printing.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: For the white leather, regularly wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean.
- Suede Detailing: Use a suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt from the suede lining. For stains, use a suede eraser and specialized suede cleaner sparingly. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Red Accents: Clean 'Power Red' areas with a damp cloth, being careful not to rub dye onto the white leather.
- Sole Unit: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a brush and mild soap and water solution.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and suede before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially for the white surfaces.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
