Wearing your adidas Originals Italia 70s is as simple as putting them on. Ensure you lace them correctly for a snug yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find what works best for your foot shape.

These trainers are highly versatile and complement a wide range of casual outfits. They pair well with:
- Jeans (skinny, straight, relaxed fit)
- Chinos or cargo pants
- Shorts (especially tailored or athletic-inspired shorts)
- T-shirts, polo shirts, hoodies, and light jackets
Their classic design ensures they remain a stylish choice for various occasions, from casual outings to relaxed social events.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Italia 70s:
- Cleaning Leather: For the 'Night Indigo' leather upper, gently wipe dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following the product's instructions.
- Cleaning Suede: The suede layers require a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner sparingly.
- Cleaning White Details: The white serrated 3-Stripes and heel details can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush or cloth. Be careful not to transfer dye from the 'Night Indigo' leather.
- Midsole/Sole: Wipe the EVA midsole and rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather and suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
