FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

The ADI2000 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good grip and support for walking, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or athletic performance.

What does 'post-consumer materials' mean for the leather?

It means the leather used in these trainers incorporates materials that have been previously used by consumers, such as leather scraps from other production processes or excess textiles, reducing waste.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to standard UK sizing charts, which typically measure foot length. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately, usually from heel to toe, while standing.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but these are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using a leather protector spray can enhance their resistance to moisture.

What is the difference between the Chalk White/Black and other colorways?

The Chalk White/Black variant features a specific color combination of off-white and black, inspired by early 2000s skate aesthetics. Other colorways may have different accent colors or base tones while retaining the ADI2000 silhouette.

How does the reversed 3-Stripes logo affect the shoe?

The reversed 3-Stripes logo is purely a design element that provides a unique and distinctive look to the ADI2000 series, setting it apart from traditional adidas designs.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. If the issue persists, consider wearing thicker socks or using insoles. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with leather footwear over time. To minimize deep creases, use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape. Avoid bending the shoes excessively.

Squeaking sound

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction. Try loosening the laces slightly or check if there's any debris caught in the sole. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for white and black footwear. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or fires, as this can damage the leather.
  • Maintenance: Consider using a leather protector spray to help repel water and stains. Regularly check the stitching and sole for any signs of wear and tear.
  • Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
