FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are inspired by a 1964 running shoe but are designed for casual wear and light activity. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for serious running.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from premium leather, with additional leather overlays for enhanced durability and style.
How do I clean the metallic silver finish?
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, a specialized leather cleaner for metallic finishes can be used sparingly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'double-stitched T-toe' mean?
This refers to a design feature where the T-shaped toe cap of the shoe has been stitched twice for increased durability and to maintain the shoe's structural integrity over time.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the leather and ensure comfort.
What is the difference between this reissue and the original 1964 model?
This reissue aims to stay as close as possible to the original 1964 design, including the low-profile silhouette and details like the double-stitched T-toe. Minor updates may be present for modern manufacturing standards and comfort, but the core aesthetic is preserved.
What other colors or sizes are available?
This specific model is in Silver Metallic / Cloud White in a UK 9.5 size. Other adidas Japan models are available in different colors and sizes; please check the product listings for variants.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Leather can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them with thin socks initially. If still uncomfortable, consider if a larger size is needed or use shoe stretchers.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize undue stress. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Metallic finish losing shine
Gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth. For restored shine, a mild, non-abrasive leather conditioner specifically for metallic finishes may be used cautiously.
Sole separation starting
This is rare but can occur with heavy wear. Contact customer support for warranty information or consult a professional shoe repairer for potential resoling.
