They are anchored by a streamlined, textured rubber sole.

FAQs
What does 'City Series' mean?
The 'City Series' was a collection of trainers launched by adidas in the 1970s and 1980s, with each model named after a major European city. They are known for their classic, low-profile designs.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, these trainers are designed as casual lifestyle footwear. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or athletic activities.
How should I store my suede trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent excessive creasing. It's best to keep them in a box or dust bag.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, but they are best kept dry.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of these adidas Originals Paris trainers is made of premium suede.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of a streamlined, textured rubber unit for grip and durability.
Are there other color options available for this model?
This particular model, the Paris, features a Core Black suede upper with white detailing. Other models within the adidas Originals range may offer different colorways.
Troubleshooting
Suede color appears faded or dull
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore its texture. For deeper color restoration, consider a suede dye or renovator product specifically designed for the shoe's color.
Water stains on suede
Allow the affected area to air dry completely without heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the nap. If the stain persists, a specialized suede cleaner might be necessary.
Rubber sole becoming discolored
Clean the sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher marks, a specialized shoe sole cleaner or a magic eraser can be used cautiously, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Creasing on the upper
Creasing is natural with suede and leather. To minimize visible creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape.
