What is the original retail price?

How should I clean the suede parts?
Use a suede brush for general cleaning and to restore the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid soaking the suede.
Does the sizing run true to other adidas models?
Sizing can vary between models. It is recommended to check sizing guides or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit, especially considering the UK sizing.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner following product instructions.
Leather elements look dull.
Wipe the leather parts with a slightly damp cloth. For a slight sheen, a very small amount of leather conditioner specifically for sneakers can be applied sparingly.
Sole feels less cushioned over time.
The adiPrene cushioning is designed for longevity, but performance can be maintained by keeping the shoes clean and dry. Regular cleaning of the sole can prevent debris build-up that might affect perceived cushioning.
Shoe feels tight after initial wear.
Suede and mesh can have a slight break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size, as conversions can vary.
