FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?

How do I clean the metallic leather?
Clean the metallic leather gently with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or to restore shine, use a specialized leather conditioner or cleaner designed for metallic finishes. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these for sports or running?

Are these trainers suitable for women?
Yes, the Y-3 Tokyo Trainers are designed as unisex footwear, making them suitable for anyone to wear.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and it's best to avoid plastic bags to allow the leather to breathe.
What does 'Y-3' represent?
Y-3 is a collaboration between the Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto and the sportswear brand Adidas. The 'Y' represents Yamamoto, and the '3' represents Adidas's iconic three stripes.
Troubleshooting
Metallic finish appears dull or scratched
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For minor scratches, try a dedicated metallic leather polish or conditioner, testing on a small area first. Avoid excessive rubbing.
Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If they feel stiff, try a small amount of beeswax on the laces. Check that the eyelets are clear of debris.
Shoes feel slightly stiff on first wear
This is common with leather footwear. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are worn to prevent chafing.
Discoloration on the silver finish
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. If discoloration occurs, try cleaning with a specialized leather cleaner for metallic finishes.
