FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from 100% Calf Leather, with specific suede detailing.

How should I clean the suede parts?

Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of 100% Rubber, providing grip similar to the Samba lineage.

Are these suitable for athletic activities?

These are designed as lifestyle and casual wear sneakers, not for intense athletic performance. They offer comfort and style for everyday use.

What does 'Decon' mean in the product name?

'Decon' typically refers to a deconstructed version, often meaning a softer, more minimalist upper construction compared to the original or 'OG' model.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain as it can damage the material and affect its appearance.

What is the fit like?

The Decon rendition offers a softer upper, generally providing a comfortable fit. It's advised to refer to sizing guides and consider the usual fit of adidas Originals footwear.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly and follow the product's instructions. Allow to air dry naturally.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using thin socks. The leather lining should soften with wear.

Gum sole is dirty.

Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a cloth lightly dampened with a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.

Fading of color.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store the shoes properly when not in use.
