FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?

While they feature basketball aesthetics and a grippy outsole, they are designed as lifestyle trainers and do not provide the high-performance lockdown required for competitive professional play.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, you should never wash suede trainers in a machine as the water and agitation will permanently damage the material and structure of the shoe.

What does the 'ADV' designation stand for?

The ADV designation in adidas footwear typically indicates technical advancements or reinforced features designed for improved durability and performance.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, the Centennial 85 Low ADV generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.

How do I maintain the purple colour?

Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use and apply a protective water-repellent spray designed for coloured suede.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or dust on the suede surface

Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently lift the nap and remove surface particles.

Water spots or light staining

Use a dedicated suede eraser to gently rub the affected area, then re-apply a suede-specific protective spray.

Laces slipping during wear

Double-knot the laces or replace them with higher-friction cotton laces if the current ones feel too smooth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cupsole comfort and support
  • Stylish vintage basketball design
  • High durability from reinforced stitching and toe protection
  • Reliable traction on multiple surfaces

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and stains
  • May require break-in time for optimal comfort
  • Limited to casual and light activity use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are crafted from suede, they should be treated with a protective spray before their first use to guard against dirt and liquids. To clean the suede, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can ruin the texture of the suede. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the Centennial 85 Low ADV is designed to fit true to size. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant purple colour from fading.
