FAQs

How do I clean my Adidas BW Army sneakers?

For leather, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and a suede eraser for tougher marks. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

Are these sneakers suitable for wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it's generally best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture to protect both the leather and suede. A water-repellent spray can offer some added protection.

Do the Adidas BW Army sneakers run true to size?

Adidas sizing can sometimes vary. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. If purchasing online, consult Adidas's official size guide and consider customer reviews for sizing recommendations.

What does 'BW Army' stand for?

The 'BW Army' model refers to a specific design inspired by a German army trainer from the 1970s. It's an archival silhouette reimagined by Adidas for modern casual wear.

Can I wear these sneakers for sports or intense physical activity?

The Adidas BW Army sneakers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. While comfortable for daily walking, they are not intended for high-performance sports or intense physical activity.

How can I prevent the white leather from yellowing?

Proper cleaning and storage are key. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods. Regularly clean off any dirt, and store them in a cool, dry place away from harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Visible stains or dirt on white leather/suede

For leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, then dry. For suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt, then a suede eraser for marks. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Creases forming on the leather upper

To minimize creasing, use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers. Ensure you choose the correct size for a proper fit, as ill-fitting shoes can exacerbate creasing.

Slightly slippery outsole

While the rubber sole provides good grip, some new outsoles can be slick initially. Wear them on various surfaces to 'break in' the sole. If wear is significant, consider resoling by a professional if the rest of the shoe is in good condition.

Unpleasant odor inside the shoes

Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside and let it sit overnight (ensure to remove it completely before wearing).

Care & Maintenance

Proper care is crucial to preserve the pristine appearance and extend the life of your white leather and suede sneakers.

  • Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surfaces with a clean, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and light dirt.
  • Spot Treatment for Leather: For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
  • Suede Care: For the beige suede details, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather and suede before the first wear and reapply periodically. This creates a protective barrier against spills and moisture.
  • Drying: If they get wet, stuff the inside with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
