FAQs

Are the Adidas Gazelle 'Faded Archive' suitable for sports?

While they offer comfort for walking and light activities, they are primarily fashion trainers and not designed for high-impact sports or specialized athletic performance.

What material are the Adidas Gazelle 'Faded Archive' made of?

The upper is made of leather, with synthetic accents and a rubber sole.

How do I clean the green leather upper?

Wipe with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly for tougher stains. Allow to air dry naturally.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The 'Faded Archive' specifically refers to this green and white colorway. The Gazelle series is available in many other colors and materials across different releases.

What is the sizing like for the Gazelle 'Faded Archive'?

They generally run true to size for most people. It's recommended to check the Adidas sizing chart or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, and consider treating them with a leather protector for better water resistance.

What is the origin of the Adidas Gazelle design?

The Gazelle design originated in the 1960s and was initially a multi-sport training shoe before becoming a streetwear icon.

Troubleshooting

Tingling or discomfort during initial wear.

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the leather to mold to your feet.

Slight color transfer onto socks.

This can sometimes occur with dyed leather. Ensure socks are of a darker color, or consider wearing them only with dark socks until any excess dye has dissipated.

Scuffs or minor marks on the leather.

For light scuffs, try a specialized leather cleaner or a magic eraser very gently. For deeper marks, a professional leather restoration service may be needed.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks on the leather, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
