FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind these trainers?

These trainers are part of the adidas Originals x Bob Marley collection, inspired by archival outfits, the musician's legacy, and his love for football. They celebrate Bob Marley's life and music.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

While the outsole design is rooted in track and field, these trainers are primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion item. For intense athletic performance, dedicated sports footwear is recommended.

What materials are used in the construction?

The trainers feature jovial textile uppers, suede detailing on the T-toes, and leather elements. The cushioning comes from EVA, and the outsoles are rubber.

How do I clean the gold and black colourway?

For the textile and leather parts, use a damp cloth. Suede sections should be brushed with a suede brush. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the colours.

Is this a limited edition release?

This collection is a special collaboration and may have limited availability. It's advisable to check for current stock information.

What does 'JFF' stand for in the product name?

'JFF' likely refers to the 'Jamaica Football Federation', aligning with Bob Marley's passion for football and Jamaica's national team colours often seen in similar collaborations.

How does the sizing compare to other adidas trainers?

The sizing for the SL 72 RS typically follows standard adidas sizing. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Stiff feel on first wear

This is common with new leather and textile shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The EVA cushioning will also soften with use.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles losing grip

Ensure the rubber outsoles are clean and free from mud or debris. For significant wear, it may be time to consider replacement.
