FAQs
What materials are the adidas Gazelle Terrace Icons Trainers made from?
The upper part of these trainers is made from a combination of Synthetics and Leather. They feature a Textile lining and are built on a durable Rubber sole.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports activities?
While inspired by football heritage, these Gazelle trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and style. They are not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
How do I clean my adidas Gazelle Terrace Icons Trainers?
For detailed care, always refer to the product label. Generally, use a soft, damp cloth to clean the upper. For leather components, a dedicated leather cleaner may be used. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing.
How can I ensure the best fit with the lace-up fastening?
The lace-up fastening allows for a customizable fit. Adjust the laces to comfortably secure your foot without being too tight. You can experiment with different lacing patterns to find your preferred level of snugness.
What does the 'Terrace Icons' mean in the name?
The 'Terrace Icons' refers to the trainers' inspiration from 80s football culture and the iconic style associated with football terraces, emphasizing their heritage and classic design appeal.
Will the blue color fade over time?
Like many dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can potentially cause some fading. Storing your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight will help preserve their color.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up fastening. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the most comfortable and secure fit for your foot.
Scuffs or marks on the leather/synthetic upper.
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. For synthetic areas, a mild soap solution may be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Foot odor develops.
Ensure trainers are aired out completely after each use. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray. Avoid wearing the same pair every day to allow them to fully dry.
Trainers look dull or dusty.
Regularly wipe down the entire surface with a clean, dry, or slightly damp cloth. For leather, a gentle polish designed for leather footwear can restore shine.
