Product Information
Full details
The Adidas BW Army trainers are designed for men seeking a refined, minimalist aesthetic that bridges the gap between casual daily wear and heritage-inspired sophistication. This collaboration with Hartcopy reimagines the classic Bundeswehr Army Trainer silhouette, offering a slimmer, more flexible fit that prioritizes comfort and clean lines. While the premium materials and deconstructed design provide a distinct, high-end look, the light colour palette requires diligent care to maintain the pristine Crystal White finish.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Adidas BW Army trainers generally fit true to size. However, due to the slimmer, deconstructed fit, those with wider feet may prefer to try a half-size up.
Can these be put in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather, ruin the suede overlays, and compromise the integrity of the gum sole.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality leather with suede overlays on the toe for added durability and texture.
Is the outsole non-marking?
Yes, the gum rubber outsole is designed for indoor use and is generally non-marking on most surfaces.
How do I maintain the Crystal White colour?
Regular maintenance with a soft, damp cloth and the application of a professional-grade leather protector will help keep the white finish looking clean.
Can I wear these for sports?
These are designed as lifestyle fashion trainers and are not intended for high-intensity athletic activities or professional sports.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuffs
Gently buff the area with a soft leather cleaner or a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove surface marks.
Dirt accumulation on suede toe
Use a specialized suede brush or a crepe eraser to gently lift dirt and restore the texture of the suede without damaging the fibers.
Creasing at the forefoot
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. To minimize deep creases, use cedar shoe trees when the shoes are not being worn to help them maintain their shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no "setup" other than proper lacing to ensure a secure fit across the midfoot. To ensure longevity, keep these shoes away from harsh detergents and excessive moisture. Clean the leather portions with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated suede brush for the toe overlays to keep the nap looking fresh. It is recommended to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to dry out or the white colour to yellow over time. Using a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather and suede is highly recommended before initial use.
