Full details
For the style-conscious adult, the adidas Originals Paris trainers offer a blend of retro design and modern comfort, drawing inspiration from the '70s City Series. Their key benefit is versatile styling, from casual wear to smart-casual outfits. A potential caveat is their minimalist construction, which may not offer the extensive support found in athletic-specific footwear. These low-profile trainers feature a soft leather upper, contrast blue suede accents, and a classic gum outsole for grip, embodying a sleek and iconic aesthetic.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the adidas Originals Paris trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or athletic activities.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by adidas or consult the product details for available UK sizing. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather upper offers some protection, it is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather and suede.
What is the 'City Series' collection?
The 'City Series' was an iconic collection launched by adidas in the 1970s, featuring trainers inspired by major cities around the world. The Paris model is a revival of one of these original designs.
How do the blue suede stripes differ from the leather upper?
The blue stripes are made from suede, offering a textural contrast to the smooth 'Core White' leather upper. Suede requires specific care to maintain its appearance.
What is the primary material of the trainers?
The primary material for the upper is soft 'Core White' leather, with 'Blue' suede detailing on the 3-Stripes and heel tab.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuffs easily
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, consider using a leather conditioner or a colored shoe cream matching the 'Core White' color.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For persistent stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner may be necessary.
Gum sole leaving marks
Light marks on floors can often be cleaned with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the sole itself, try a magic eraser or a specialized sole cleaner.
Discomfort during initial wear
New leather shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the correct size is being worn.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying it sparingly with a clean cloth.
- Cleaning Suede Accents: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap of the suede. Avoid getting the suede wet.

- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
