FAQs

Are the adidas Originals Paris trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They offer comfort for everyday activities but are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance.

How do I best maintain the suede material?

Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to keep the nap lifted and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Protect them from excessive moisture and rain.

What is the origin of the adidas Originals Paris trainers?

The adidas Paris trainers were originally launched in the 1970s as part of the iconic 'City Series', celebrating major European cities.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the material and lead to staining or loss of shape. Consider weather-appropriate footwear for rain.

What do the 'City Series' signify?

The 'City Series' was a collection of trainers released by adidas in the 1970s and 80s, with each model named after a prominent European city, often featuring designs inspired by the local culture or style.

What is the material of the sole?

The trainers feature a streamlined, textured rubber sole unit, designed for durability and grip.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by adidas Originals and compare it with your UK foot measurement. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on or reading reviews for fit recommendations, as suede can offer some flexibility.

Troubleshooting

Suede losing its texture

Use a suede brush regularly to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consider a suede cleaner specifically designed for this material.

Shoes feel too tight

Suede can stretch slightly over time. Wearing them with thicker socks for short periods may help. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot.

Discoloration on white stripes or heel tab

Gently wipe the affected areas with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild shoe cleaner suitable for synthetics might be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Slight odor after wear

Allow the shoes to air out completely between wears. Use cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor. Baking soda can also be used in a sachet inside the shoes when not in use.

Compatibility: The adidas Originals Paris trainers are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and casual trousers. They are suitable for adult men.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the suede.
  2. Lining and Insoles: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally if they become damp. Do not use direct heat.
  3. Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for tougher dirt, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect from dust and maintain shape.
