FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Originals Tokyo is designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe, not for athletic performance. It lacks the specialized support, cushioning, and stability required for running or sports activities.

How do I clean the white leather upper?

For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a small amount of a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, then wipe off with a clean, damp cloth and let air dry.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While the leather offers some resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. Heavy rain can damage both the leather and suede. It's recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray and avoid wearing them in heavy downpours.

What is the fit like for the adidas Originals Tokyo?

The Tokyo typically offers a streamlined, low-profile fit. It generally runs true to size for casual wear, but if you have wider feet, you might consider trying a half size up. Always consult the adidas size guide.

How can I prevent the suede from fading or getting dirty?

Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dust and dirt. Apply a quality suede protector spray before wearing and after cleaning to help resist stains and moisture. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods during storage.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your feet. Wearing thicker socks can also help during this phase.

Suede areas look matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be applied carefully. Always brush in one direction.

Leather upper is creasing.

Creasing is natural with wear, but can be minimized. Store your shoes with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Regularly condition the leather to keep it supple.

Sole is losing traction or looks discolored.

Clean the gum sole regularly with a soft brush, mild soap, and water to remove trapped dirt and restore grip. Minor discoloration is normal with wear but excessive yellowing may indicate aging.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather and suede adidas Originals Tokyo shoes.

  1. Initial Protection (Recommended): Before first wear, apply a high-quality leather and suede protector spray. This helps repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning:
  • Leather Upper: Wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following product instructions.
  • Suede Tooling: Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid excessive rubbing or getting suede too wet.
  • Gum Sole: Clean with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap and water to remove dirt and scuffs.
  1. Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry at room temperature; avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage leather and suede.
  2. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing creasing in the leather.
  3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and color.
