FAQs
What materials are the adidas Originals Tahiti trainers made from?
The upper features a combination of premium deep navy suede and 'Bold Blue' contrasting leather on the 3-Stripes and heel tab. The sole unit is made from synthetic material with a textured rubber outsole.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Originals Tahiti trainers are primarily designed as casual lifestyle footwear. They are not engineered for athletic performance, running, or high-impact sports.
How do I clean my Tahiti trainers?
For suede, use a soft suede brush. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Consider specialized suede and leather cleaning products for tougher stains, and always allow them to air dry naturally.
What does 'Island Series' refer to?
The 'Island Series' is a collection from adidas Originals that reissues classic trainer designs, often named after tropical islands, originally released in the 1970s and 80s. The Tahiti is one of these iconic reissues.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, adidas Originals trainers are considered true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for adults.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While they have a durable sole, the suede and leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It's advisable to treat them with a water-resistant spray for protection against light moisture, but avoid heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions.
Where is the archive branding located?
The archive branding is prominently featured on the suede tongue of the trainers, celebrating their heritage.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, a suede eraser can be effective.
Leather parts have scuffs or marks.
Lightly wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a small amount of leather cleaner designed for smooth leather, then buff gently.
Trainers feel stiff initially.
The premium materials may require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
While the rubber sole provides good general traction, no shoe is completely slip-proof. Exercise caution on wet or icy surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean of debris that might reduce grip.
Color fading over time.
Minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Use protective sprays that include UV inhibitors for leather and suede to help preserve color.
