FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the adidas Tokyo Trainers?
The adidas Tokyo Trainers are inspired by the original track and field shoe designed for the 1964 Olympic Games held in Tokyo, Japan, bringing a piece of athletic heritage into a modern lifestyle sneaker.
Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic performance?
These trainers are primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and fashion. While they have athletic roots, they do not offer the specialized features or support of modern performance running shoes.
How should I clean the suede material?
For routine cleaning, use a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to oversaturate. Always allow suede to air dry naturally.
What kind of socks pair best with these trainers?
These trainers pair well with a variety of socks, including classic crew socks, ankle socks, or no-show socks, depending on your outfit and preference.
Are there other colorways or sizes available?
This guide specifically covers the adidas Tokyo Trainers in Black/White, Size UK 6. Other colorways and sizes may be available through adidas retailers.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is made of a gum rubber, which provides a distinctive vintage look and reliable grip.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather, as water can stain and damage the material. It's best to protect them from moisture.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or consult specialized suede cleaning products.
Gum sole is scuffed
Minor scuffs on gum soles can often be removed with a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a bit of baking soda paste. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Water damage to suede
Blot excess water immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore texture. Consider applying a suede protector spray for future prevention.
Fit feels slightly tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them with medium-thickness socks for a few hours at a time to help them mold to your feet.
