FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
The BW Army Decon is designed primarily for casual wear and style. While they offer good grip for walking, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Gently brush off dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. It's best to avoid getting the suede wet.
What material is the lining made of?
The lining is made of 100% calf leather, providing a soft and comfortable feel.
What is the main benefit of the gum rubber sole?
The gum rubber sole provides excellent grip and traction, ensuring stability with each step.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as this can damage the material and lead to staining.
What is the difference between the 'Decon' version and the OG BW Army?
The Decon rendition offers a softer suede upper compared to the OG design, focusing on a more streamlined and purist aesthetic.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
While this guide focuses on the grey suede model, adidas Originals releases the BW Army series in various colors and materials. Please check availability for other options.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water-based cleaners directly on suede unless specifically designed for it.
Shoes feel slightly tight.
Wear them with thicker socks for a short period to help stretch the suede and leather lining. If the tightness is significant, consider if the size is appropriate. Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear.
Gum sole has scuff marks.
Gently rub scuff marks with a soft eraser or a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping clean with a damp cloth and allowing to air dry.
