Full details
The Adidas Paris Core Trainers in White (UK 6.5) are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort. Their key benefit is the versatile, minimalist aesthetic paired with durable, full-grain leather construction for everyday wear. A potential caveat is the traditional lacing system, which requires manual adjustment for a precise fit. This iconic sneaker draws inspiration from the '70s 'City Series' with a clean design featuring a soft leather upper, suede overlays, and a nimble gum outsole for reliable grip.

FAQs
What makes the Adidas Paris Core 'minimalist'?
The minimalist design refers to its clean lines, lack of excessive ornamentation, and focus on the essential silhouette and branding, featuring a simple color palette and classic Adidas elements.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While they offer good grip and comfort for walking, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers inspired by retro athletic shoes, not for high-impact sports or performance training.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
What does 'Core White' refer to?
'Core White' is the primary color of the shoe's upper, indicating a clean, foundational white hue. 'Chalk Pearl' refers to the color of the suede overlays.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather offers some protection, but the suede overlays are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and appearance.
What is the 'City Series'?
The 'City Series' was an inaugural collection of Adidas trainers launched in the 1970s, with each model named after a major city. The Paris is a reissue inspired by this iconic line.
How does the sizing run?
Based on standard Adidas sizing, these trainers are expected to fit true to size. However, personal preference for fit tightness can be adjusted with the traditional lacing system.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Use shoe trees for storage to help retain shape.
Suede overlay appearing matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser may be used carefully. Protect suede areas with a suitable spray if desired.
Gum sole showing wear
Gum soles offer good grip but can wear over time with heavy use. For minor scuffs, a rubber cleaner might help. Regular cleaning will help preserve the material.
Laces becoming frayed
Replace frayed laces with new ones of a similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For suede overlays, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain texture. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Drying: If the trainers get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and glue.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect from dust and sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
