FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

The adidas Originals Paris shoes are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While the gum sole offers grip, they do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the blue suede parts?

Use a suede brush to clean the suede. For stubborn marks, a specialized suede cleaner or eraser can be used, but always test on a small, hidden area first to ensure it doesn't affect the color.

What is the 'City Series' collection?

The 'City Series' was an iconic collection launched by adidas in the 1970s, featuring shoes named after major cities. The Paris model is a reissue from that original series, celebrating its heritage design.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather can withstand light moisture, it is not recommended for heavy rain. Excessive water can damage the leather and suede. Ensure they are properly dried if they get damp.

How durable is the gum outsole?

The gum outsole is known for its durability and grip in dry conditions. Like most rubber soles, it can show wear over time with extensive use, and may pick up dirt more easily than darker soles.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of synthetic material, with the outsole specifically being a gum rubber, which provides lightweight grip.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

This guide focuses on the 'White' colorway with blue accents. Other colorways may exist within the broader adidas Originals range or the City Series.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with leather. Ensure shoes are stored properly with shoe trees or stuffing to maintain shape. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Suede becoming dirty

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

Gum sole discoloration

Gum soles can naturally darken or pick up marks. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. For persistent marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.

Fit feels tight initially

The leather upper is designed to stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in.
