FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the adidas Tobacco is a lifestyle sneaker based on a 1978 silhouette and is not designed for athletic performance or running.

How do I protect the suede from rain?

You should apply a high-quality water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before your first use and reapply periodically.

Does the shoe run true to size?

The adidas Tobacco generally fits true to size, though the slim profile may feel slightly narrower than more modern, bulky sneakers.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and cause structural issues. Use hand-cleaning methods only.

What is the primary material of the Tobacco series?

Most models in this series are crafted from premium suede, though some variations may feature leather.

Troubleshooting

Surface dirt on suede

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the texture.

Suede color fading

Avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight and consider using a professional-grade suede renovator spray if color loss occurs.

Difficulty getting a comfortable fit

Adjust the tension of the laces along the lower eyelets to accommodate different foot widths.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas Tobacco trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care and setup guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray to guard against moisture and dirt.
  2. Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dust and debris. Do not machine wash or submerge the suede material in water.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or drying out.
  4. Fit: These trainers typically follow standard adult sizing. If you prefer a looser fit or intend to wear thicker socks, consider testing your fit carefully as the silhouette is inherently slim.
