Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals Paris trainers are designed for adult males seeking a stylish and comfortable footwear option with a retro aesthetic. Their key benefit lies in their premium suede construction and iconic '70s design, offering a blend of heritage style and modern comfort. A potential caveat is that suede requires specific care to maintain its appearance. These trainers feature a low-profile silhouette, a suede T-toe, contrasting white detailing on the heel tab and 3-Stripes, and a streamlined rubber sole.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

The adidas Originals Paris trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle footwear for casual wear. They offer comfort for walking but are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit. Avoid using water, as it can damage the suede.

What is the 'City Series'?

The 'City Series' was a collection of adidas trainers launched in the 1970s and 1980s, each named after a major European city. The Paris model is a reissue from this iconic line.

Do these trainers come in other colours?

While this specific guide focuses on the Core Black/White suede variant, the Paris model and other shoes in the 'City Series' have been released in various colourways over time. Please check available listings for other options.

What size should I order?

These trainers are listed in UK adult sizes. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try on a pair if possible to ensure the correct fit, as sizing can vary slightly between models.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent staining and damage to the suede.

What is the sole made of?

The trainers feature a streamlined, textured rubber sole unit, providing grip and durability for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede discolouration or staining

Use a suede eraser for light marks. For deeper stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Loss of shape

Stuff the trainers with paper or use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain their original shape.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur with new soles. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or gently rubbing the sole on a rough surface.

Suede feels stiff after cleaning

Once dry, gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its texture and softness.

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended. Avoid using water, as it can stain suede.
  • Drying: If the trainers get wet, stuff them with paper to help maintain their shape and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains before wearing them for the first time.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
