FAQs

What materials are these trainers made from?

The trainers feature a natural leather upper with a snakeskin pattern and leather accents. The sole is made of synthetic material, including a gum outsole.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The trainers are designed with a neutral construction, which typically suits a standard or neutral foot width. They may not be ideal for very wide feet.

How should I clean the snakeskin-patterned leather?

Gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher marks, consult a specialist leather cleaner that is safe for printed leather.

What is the purpose of the carbon plate?

The carbon plate in the insole is designed to provide dynamic rebound and enhance stability, offering responsive cushioning during activity.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The leather upper offers some resistance, but the trainers are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What makes this collaboration special?

This is a limited edition release from the partnership between adidas and designer Wales Bonner, featuring a unique design that blends athletic heritage with luxury fashion elements.

Can I wear these for long-distance running?

While designed for asphalt running, they are best suited for training rather than ultra-marathons. The carbon plate offers support for distances up to 30 km, but individual comfort may vary.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Ensure proper fit. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Metallic gold details losing shine

Gently wipe with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid polishing compounds not specifically designed for metallic leather finishes.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a comfortable fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check if the carbon plate is causing pressure points.

Gum outsole becoming discolored

Clean the outsole regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals that can degrade rubber compounds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up. They are designed for a neutral foot type and are compatible with standard athletic or casual wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the leather upper with a clean, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the leather or the snakeskin pattern.
  • Lining and Insole: For the interior, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure the shoes are aired out thoroughly after cleaning. Do not soak the insoles.
  • Outsole: Clean the gum outsole with a soft brush or cloth. Stubborn marks can be gently removed with a mild soap and water solution.
  • Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the material and color. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray suitable for exotic prints to guard against stains and water damage, following product instructions carefully.
