FAQs
What material is the adidas Japan "Night Navy" shoe made of?
The upper is primarily made of high-quality genuine leather with suede details on the toe and heel. The lining is textile, and the outsole is rubber.
How do I clean the leather and suede parts?
For leather, use a damp cloth and a leather cleaner/conditioner. For suede, use a suede brush or eraser. Avoid soaking the shoes.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
While inspired by archival running shoes, the "Night Navy" model is designed primarily for casual wear due to its premium materials and retro aesthetic, not for athletic performance running.
What does the "Night Navy" color refer to?
"Night Navy" refers to the deep shade of blue used for the main color of the shoe's upper.
How does the fit compare to other adidas shoes?
These shoes feature a standard fit and traditional lacing for a secure feel. It's recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
What is the significance of the "adidas JAPAN" lettering?
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.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight initially
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Consider using a shoe tree to gently stretch them if needed.
Scuff marks on leather or suede
For minor scuffs on leather, try a leather cleaner or a specialized eraser. For suede, use a suede brush or a suede eraser. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with new ones of similar length and material. Many shoe stores or online retailers offer replacement laces.
Soles showing wear
Regular wear can cause soles to wear down. For significant wear, consider taking the shoes to a cobbler for sole repair or replacement.
