Adidas Japan - White - 6.5

While the Adidas Japan has roots as a 1960s training shoe, its modern reissue is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle fashion. For contemporary running or high-intensity athletic activities, we recommend choosing specialized performance footwear.

For general cleaning, gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean. Always finish with a leather conditioner to keep the material hydrated and protected.

Adidas sizing can sometimes vary. Based on general feedback for lifestyle sneakers, the Adidas Japan typically runs true to your standard Adidas size. For the best fit, it's always recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible.

The Adidas Japan features a textured EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole, which provides lightweight cushioning and stability. The outsole is made of durable rubber with a herringbone tread pattern designed for optimal grip.

The leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture. However, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to protect the leather and maintain the shoe's longevity. A protective spray designed for leather can offer an additional layer of resistance.

The Adidas Japan features a relatively flat sole design, which is characteristic of its vintage athletic origins. It provides foundational stability but may not offer extensive built-in arch support. If you require additional arch support, you might consider using aftermarket insoles.

A squeak can often be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and applying a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder underneath it. Reinsert the insole. If the squeak persists, check if it's coming from the outsole by testing on different surfaces.

The leather likely needs conditioning. First, clean the leather upper thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth to remove any surface dirt. Once dry, apply a quality leather conditioner, rubbing it in gently with a clean cloth. This will moisturize the leather and help restore its natural luster.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period to mold to your feet. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or seeking professional stretching services.

Poor grip is often due to dirt or debris embedded in the tread. Thoroughly clean the rubber outsole using a stiff brush and mild soap with water. Ensure all grime and small stones are removed from the herringbone pattern. Rinse well and air dry.
