FAQs
What makes these trainers a reissue of a 1964 model?
These trainers are a modern recreation of an adidas shoe that originally appeared in a 1964 catalog, featuring design elements from that era, such as the low-profile shape and T-toe construction.
How should I care for the leather upper?
Clean the leather with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher spots. Allow shoes to air dry naturally if wet and consider a leather protectant spray.
Are these suitable for running or sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not specialized for high-impact sports or running, lacking the advanced cushioning and support of dedicated athletic footwear.
What does 'double-stitched T-toe' mean?
It refers to the reinforced toe cap area where the 'T' shape of the stitching is made with two lines of thread for added durability and a distinctive visual style.
How do I find the right size if I'm not familiar with UK sizing?
Measure your foot length in centimeters or inches and compare it to an adidas size conversion chart. Most charts provide equivalents for US, EU, and UK sizing.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles. Ensure they dry thoroughly if they do get damp.
What is the primary material used?
The primary materials are leather for the upper and overlays, with a rubber sole for traction.
Troubleshooting
Sizing seems incorrect
Verify your foot measurement and consult an adidas size chart for UK sizing conversion. Note that fit can vary slightly between models.
Leather scuffs easily
Address minor scuffs with a leather cleaner or a matching color leather balm. Apply a protective spray regularly to help prevent future marks.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free of debris. The grip may vary on wet or polished surfaces; exercise caution.
Color transfer from leather
This can sometimes occur with new leather. Wearing darker socks initially can help mitigate this. Using a leather sealant can also reduce color transfer.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid excessive water.
