FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of the adidas Japan Sneaker is made from high-quality leather.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Japan Sneaker is designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, inspired by a classic silhouette. It is not intended for high-performance running or sports.
How do I determine my size?
These sneakers feature a regular fit and use standard UK sizing. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting a detailed adidas size chart.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather offers some natural water resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, and prompt drying and conditioning are recommended if they do get wet.
How do I clean the gold foil branding?
Gently wipe the gold foil branding with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or rubbing vigorously, as this can damage the foil.
What does 'doubled stitched t-toe' mean?
The 'doubled stitched t-toe' refers to a specific design detail on the front of the sneaker where the toe cap is reinforced with two lines of stitching in a 'T' shape. This enhances durability and is a nod to classic sneaker construction.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or wrinkles appearing
This is natural with leather wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers. Applying a leather conditioner can also help maintain suppleness.
Stains on the leather upper
Act quickly. For fresh stains, gently dab with a clean, damp cloth. For dried stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner following product instructions. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
Sneakers feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size; the product features a regular fit. Allow a short break-in period for the leather to conform to your foot. Wear appropriate socks to enhance comfort.
Rubber outsole losing traction
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and soapy water to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing grip.
Gold foil branding fading or peeling
Gold foil can wear over time with friction. Minimize rubbing and harsh cleaning on these areas. Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

Product Care & Maintenance
Given the leather material, proper care is crucial to maintain the sneaker's appearance and longevity.
- Cleaning:
- Wipe Down: Regularly wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- Deep Clean (Leather): For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth and gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap solution.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the sneakers with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
