FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather-like upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but the shoes are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a glossy leather-like material, inspired by the original design's premium feel.

How do I adjust the ankle strap for the best fit?

The ankle strap features a hook-and-loop closure. Adjust it to provide snug support without being overly tight, ensuring comfort and stability.

Can I wear these for running or sports?

These sneakers are designed for casual wear and streetwear. They do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for running or intense sports activities.

How should I store these sneakers when not in use?

It is recommended to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Does the 'UNC' designation have a specific meaning?

The 'UNC' often refers to the University of North Carolina, and this colorway, with its White and Blue accents, is a nod to their team colors, common in adidas designs.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the glossy upper

Minor creasing is normal with wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. For deep creases, consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Ankle strap not holding securely

Ensure the hook-and-loop fastener is clean and free of debris. Re-fasten the strap firmly, ensuring it aligns correctly.

Discomfort or rubbing

Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear. Ensure socks are worn to prevent friction. Check lacing for even pressure distribution.

Difficulty cleaning the glossy finish

Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. For stubborn marks, apply a small amount of mild soap or sneaker cleaner to the cloth and gently wipe. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry.
