FAQs
What is the 'Island Series'?
The 'Island Series' is a collection of iconic adidas sneakers from the 1970s, each named after a different island. They are known for their distinct low-profile designs and classic materials.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The adidas Originals Tahiti typically features a standard fit. For individuals with wider feet, it's recommended to try them on or consult specific sizing guides for adidas lifestyle shoes, as suede may not offer as much stretch as other materials.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, the suede upper is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions can damage the material and lead to staining or color distortion. It's best to wear them in dry weather.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of the adidas Originals Tahiti in this variant is primarily made from premium 'Night Sky' navy suede, complemented by flocked detailing.
How do I maintain the color of the blue suede?
To maintain the rich blue color, regularly brush the suede with a soft suede brush to remove dust and dirt. Apply a clear or blue-specific suede protector spray. Avoid direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight which can cause fading.
Do these shoes come with extra laces?
Info needed: Please check the product packaging or retailer details for information on whether extra laces are included with this specific model.
Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, the adidas Originals Tahiti features a low-profile design and a textured rubber sole unit that provides comfortable cushioning for everyday casual wear. The suede upper also offers a soft feel against the foot.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Brush in one direction for a uniform appearance.
Shoes feel uncomfortably tight or loose.
Ensure you've selected the correct UK 11 size. Try adjusting your lacing technique for a more customized fit. Experiment with different sock thicknesses to fine-tune comfort. If discomfort persists, consider having your foot measured to verify size accuracy.
Color appears to be fading or showing uneven wear.
This can occur with suede over time, especially with exposure to sunlight or friction. Apply a suede protector spray regularly to help minimize fading and consider a color-restoring product specifically for suede, if desired. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your adidas Originals Tahiti:
- Suede Cleaning: For light dirt or dust, use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be used, gently rubbing the stain away. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
- Stain Removal: For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain. For dried stains, follow suede cleaning steps.
- Water Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This will help repel water and prevent stains, but will not make them fully waterproof.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Never put suede shoes in a washing machine or tumble dryer, as this can damage the material and structure.
