FAQs
What material is the upper of the adidas Originals Italia 70s made from?
The upper is crafted from premium 'Cloud White' leather, providing durability and a classic aesthetic.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities like running or sports?
No, the adidas Originals Italia 70s are designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe, not for high-performance athletic activities.
How do I clean the white leather on my Italia 70s?
For best results, use a soft, damp cloth for light dirt or a specialized white leather cleaner for tougher stains. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Italia 70s feature a `regular fit` and generally run true to size. If you are unsure, consult a sizing guide or try them on to ensure optimal comfort.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the leather offers some resistance, it's not recommended to wear them in heavy rain or wet conditions, as excessive moisture can damage the leather and affect their appearance.
What is the sole made of?
The midsole features a dual-coloured EVA material for cushioning, and the outsole is made of reliable rubber for traction.
What does the 'cross over the heels' refer to?
This is a distinctive design detail, a stitched or overlaid cross pattern on the heel counter, which is a signature element from the original Italia silhouette that inspired this model.
Troubleshooting
White leather stains easily and looks dull
Clean immediately after wear with a soft, damp cloth or a specialized white leather cleaner. For deeper stains, gentle use of a magic eraser (test first) can help, followed by a leather conditioner to rehydrate.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The leather upper requires a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short intervals (1-2 hours) over several days to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur from friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe before reinserting the insole.
Odor develops inside the shoes
Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each use. You can use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sachets, or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your adidas Originals Italia 70s involves proper initial setup, understanding its stylistic compatibility, and consistent care.
Setup
- Lacing: The shoes feature a traditional lace closure. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict blood flow and cause discomfort.
- Initial Fit: When you first try them on, ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The `regular fit` is designed to accommodate most foot shapes comfortably.
- Break-In: Like many leather shoes, the Italia 70s may feel a bit stiff initially. Wear them for short periods over the first few days to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet.
Compatibility
- Casual Wear: These sneakers are a natural fit for casual attire. Pair them with denim jeans, khaki trousers, cargo shorts, or a casual skirt.
- Streetwear: Their vintage athletic aesthetic makes them a staple in streetwear fashion. Combine them with track pants, oversized tees, or hoodies.
- Smart-Casual: With their clean white leather and classic design, they can even elevate a smart-casual ensemble, such as chinos with a button-down shirt or a casual blazer.
- Seasonality: Best suited for dry, temperate weather. While the leather offers some protection, it's not ideal for heavy rain, snow, or extreme mud.
Care
Regular care will help maintain the premium look and extend the life of your Italia 70s.
- Cleaning the Leather: For light dirt and smudges, wipe the 'Cloud White' leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a dedicated white leather cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Cleaning the 3-Stripes and Cross Detail: Use a gentle brush or cloth with mild soap and water for the 'Collegiate Green' accents.
- Midsole & Outsole: Clean the dual-coloured EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove dirt and grime.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray specifically designed for white leather to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Laces: Remove and hand wash laces separately if they become dirty.
