FAQs

What is the primary material of the adidas Originals Italia 70s Trainers?

The upper is primarily constructed from smoky nubuck, with 'Core Black' accents.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and vintage style, offering comfort for everyday activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-performance athletic activities like running or competitive sports.

How should I clean the nubuck material?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully. Avoid soaking the material or using harsh cleaning agents.

What does 'Italia' branding signify?

The 'Italia' wordmark is a nod to the trainers' inspiration from vintage Italian sports and training shoes from the 1970s, featured here in silver foil.

Does the shoe offer good cushioning?

Yes, the trainers feature EVA cushioning underfoot, which provides comfort and support for daily wear.

What kind of grip do the outsoles provide?

The outsoles are made of agile rubber, designed to offer lightweight grip and flexibility for everyday movement.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber toe bumpers offer some protection, nubuck is susceptible to water damage. It's advisable to protect them with a suitable spray and avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Nubuck material appears scuffed or dirty.

Use a dedicated nubuck brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, carefully use a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Sizing feels slightly off.

Try wearing with different types of socks. If persistent, consider that natural leather may stretch slightly over time. Ensure you have consulted a reliable size guide before purchase.

Outsole grip seems reduced.

Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.
