Product Information

Full details

The adidas BW Army trainers are designed for adults seeking a versatile, retro-inspired shoe that blends military history with modern everyday style. Drawing inspiration from the classic 1970s German Army Trainer silhouette, this shoe offers a sophisticated aesthetic thanks to its premium leather construction and suede overlays. While these trainers provide excellent comfort through a padded collar and leather insole, potential users should note that the stiff leather structure may require a short break-in period to reach maximum flexibility.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels too stiff after initial wear

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape over time.

Suede overlays look dusty or dull

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and remove loose debris.

Minor scuffs on the leather

Apply a small amount of neutral leather cream to blend the scuff and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your adidas BW Army trainers in optimal condition, proper care is essential. Since they are constructed from high-quality leather and suede, avoid machine washing, which can damage the materials and glue bonds.

  1. Cleaning: Use a dry soft brush to remove dirt from the suede overlays. For the leather portions, wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a protective leather and suede spray to help repel water and prevent stains before your first wear.
  4. Fit: These trainers are designed for standard adult sizing. If you prefer to wear thicker socks, ensure you check the fit against your standard UK sizing.
