FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Adidas Japan Decon shoes are designed for daily wear, offering comfort and style for casual outings and light activities thanks to their padded collar and breathable perforations.

How do I clean the leather upper of these sneakers?

For basic cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What does 'Decon' mean in the product name?

'Decon' is short for 'deconstructed', meaning the design has been simplified or subtly altered from an original, often iconic, style, offering a fresh yet familiar aesthetic.

Is the gold foil branding durable?

The gold foil branding is applied with quality in mind, but like all delicate details, it can show wear over time with excessive friction or harsh cleaning. Gentle care will help preserve its appearance.

Can I use these shoes for running or intense sports?

While these shoes offer comfort and traction, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic endeavors, not for high-intensity running or performance-based sports.

What materials are used in the construction?

The upper is made of smooth leather with full-grain leather overlays, the lining is textile, and the sole is rubber. These materials contribute to both comfort and durability.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Adidas generally aims for consistent sizing. However, individual foot shapes vary. We recommend referring to Adidas' official size guide or trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth, then apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner. Buff gently with a dry cloth to restore luster and suppleness.

Slight scuffs or marks on the leather.

For light scuffs, use a leather cleaner or a specialized leather eraser. For deeper marks, a leather repair balm or polish in a matching color might be necessary.

Unpleasant odor inside the shoes.

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each use. Remove insoles if possible and let them dry. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let sit overnight before shaking it out.

Squeaking sound while walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole.

Laces frequently come untied.

Ensure you are using a secure knot (like a double knot). If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones that provide better grip.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your leather sneakers:

  • General Cleaning: For surface dirt, gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can dry out and crack the leather.
  • Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important for smooth leather.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against elements.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  • Sole Care: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a stiff brush and water to remove dirt and maintain traction.
  • Lining Care: The textile lining can be gently wiped with a damp cloth if needed. For persistent odors, consider using shoe deodorizers.
