FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed primarily for streetwear and casual use, not for rigorous athletic activities. Their construction prioritizes style and comfort for everyday wear.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
Refer to the size guide for UK sizing. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the difference between these and standard Adidas Gazelles?
The Y-3 Gazelle Trainers are a collaboration with Yohji Yamamoto, featuring premium materials like suede and leather, a more refined finish, and designer branding, distinguishing them from standard Adidas Gazelles.
How often should I clean the suede?
It's advisable to brush the suede regularly after wear to remove surface dust. Deep cleaning with a suede cleaner should be done as needed, typically when stains occur or the material looks visibly dull.
What is the material composition?
The trainers feature a 100% Suede upper, 100% Leather lining, and a 100% Rubber sole.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions, and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Laces are worn or dirty
Laces can be replaced with standard trainer laces. For cleaning, remove laces and wash separately by hand with mild detergent.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. If the wear pattern indicates the tread is significantly diminished, consider professional advice for sole replacement or alternative footwear.
