FAQs
What makes the 'Japan' shoe special?
The 'Japan' shoe is a reissue of an iconic 1964 silhouette, featuring original design elements like the double-stitched T-toe and serrated 3-Stripes, offering a direct connection to adidas's heritage.
What material are the uppers made of?
The uppers are made from premium leather, providing durability and a classic look.
How should I clean the 'Off White' leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For more persistent stains, a dedicated leather cleaner is recommended. Avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are designed as lifestyle and casual wear shoes, not performance running shoes. They offer comfort for daily activities but lack the specialized support and cushioning for intense athletic training.
What does 'Alumina' refer to on the 3-Stripes?
'Alumina' refers to the color of the 3-Stripes, which is a shade of white, complementing the main 'Off White' upper.
How does the sizing run?
These are listed in UK adult male sizing. It is highly recommended to consult the official adidas size chart for the most accurate fit, as shoe sizing can differ between models.
Can these shoes be worn by women?
While listed under male sizing, the low-top style is unisex. Women can typically wear them by converting their US or EU size to the corresponding UK size using the adidas size chart.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have consulted the adidas size chart. If still uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size or using thicker/thinner socks.
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural for leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees for storage to help maintain shape.
Scuffs or marks on the 'Off White' leather
Gently clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel stiff initially
The rubber sole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially until they become more flexible.
