FAQs
What material is the Y-3 Field Trainers made from?
The upper is constructed from 100% calf leather, and the sole is made of 100% rubber.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
While they offer comfort and durability, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion. For intense athletic activities, specialized sports footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner sparingly, followed by a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.
What does the 'Y-3' signify?
Y-3 represents the collaboration between Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto and Adidas, blending high fashion with sportswear.
Do these trainers come in different colors?
This specific model is presented in a black colorway, often with white accents such as the iconic 3-Stripes and branding.
How should I store my Y-3 Field Trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a dust bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Consider using shoe trees.
What is the sole made of and what is its function?
The sole is made of 100% rubber and features a lug pattern designed to provide enhanced grip and stability.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creases are natural for leather. For scuffs, use a matching leather polish or a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Store shoes with shoe trees to maintain shape.
Slight discomfort on first wear
Leather footwear often requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a comfortable fit.
Sole becoming slippery
The lug pattern on the rubber sole is designed for grip. If slip occurs, ensure the sole is clean. For persistent issues, consult a cobbler about sole treatments, though this may affect the aesthetic.
Difficulty with lacing
Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets correctly. If laces become worn, they can be replaced with similar quality laces. Adjust tension for a secure but not overly tight fit.

Care Instructions:

- Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
