FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the adidas Japan "Night Navy" trainers are designed as lifestyle or casual wear shoes. While they have roots in archival running designs, they are not intended for high-performance athletic running.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer and compare it with your foot measurement. These trainers feature a standard fit, so if you are between sizes or prefer a roomier fit, consider sizing up.
What is the difference between the leather and suede parts?
The majority of the upper is premium leather for durability and a smooth finish, while suede details are used on the toe and heel for added texture, aesthetic appeal, and reinforcement in high-wear areas.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The leather and suede materials require specific care methods such as spot cleaning and brushing to maintain their integrity and appearance.
How often should I condition the leather?
It's recommended to condition the leather every few months, or whenever the material appears dry. This helps keep it supple and prevents cracking.
What does the "adidas JAPAN" lettering signify?
The gold-tone "adidas JAPAN" lettering embossed along the side stripe is a special detail that celebrates the model's heritage and connection to Japanese design influences.
What colors are the "Three Stripes"?
The iconic adidas "Three Stripes" on this "Night Navy" model are in a contrasting light gray or cream color.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is normal for genuine leather. Using a shoe tree can help maintain shape when not in use and reduce deep creases. Ensure proper fit to minimize excess creasing.
Suede becoming matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, try a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions carefully.
Discoloration of gold lettering
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. The lettering is designed for subtle accents and may wear over time with heavy use.
Outsole losing grip
Check the outsole for embedded debris and clean it. If the tread is significantly worn down, the outsole may need replacement by a professional shoe repairer.
