Product Information
Full details
The adidas ADI2000 Chalk White Black is designed for adults seeking a blend of retro skateboarding style and modern sustainable materials. Its key benefit lies in its distinct aesthetic with unique reversed 3-Stripes and a comfortable, slightly bulky silhouette. A potential caveat is that the 'Chalk White' colorway might require more frequent cleaning to maintain its pristine look. This sneaker draws inspiration from early 2000s skate shoes, featuring a leather upper made with at least 25% post-consumer recycled materials, a low-top profile, and a durable rubber outsole, all presented in a versatile neutral color palette.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing to a preferred tightness. If the issue persists, ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to size charts for accurate measurements.
Discoloration on the white leather.
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for white leather. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. The grip may vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. For increased traction on specific surfaces, consider aftermarket sole grips.
