FAQs
What material is the upper primarily made of?
The upper is primarily crafted from genuine leather, with suede details on the toe and heel.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and feature a retro aesthetic. While the rubber outsole provides reliable traction, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and apply sparingly. Avoid getting the suede wet.
What does the "JAPAN" lettering signify?
The gold-tone "adidas JAPAN" lettering embossed along the side stripe is an accent that celebrates the model's heritage and connection to Japanese design influences.
What is the fit like?
The shoes feature a standard fit with traditional lacing, allowing you to adjust for a secure and personalized feel.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, especially for the suede elements. Consider using a water-repellent spray and avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
What colors are the Three Stripes?
The iconic Three Stripes on this "Night Navy" model are in a contrasting light gray/cream color.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Adjust lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Consider if the standard fit is appropriate for your foot shape.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid using water on suede parts.
Leather shows scuff marks
For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or polish may help blend them in. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Traction feels inadequate on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole is designed for general traction. Be cautious on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that could affect grip.
