FAQs

How do I clean the green leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more stubborn marks, apply a small amount of neutral leather cleaner with a clean cloth, then wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Are these suitable for professional sports?

While durable and comfortable for everyday activities and light sports like skateboarding, they are not designed as high-performance athletic shoes for specialized professional sports.

Will the leather stretch over time?

Yes, genuine leather is a natural material that will adapt to the shape of your foot with wear, becoming more comfortable over time.

What is the 'Faded Archive' collection?

The 'Faded Archive' collection refers to Adidas models that draw inspiration from vintage colorways and designs from their historical archives, giving them a retro feel.

Can I wear these in the rain?

The leather can withstand light moisture, but it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Water can stain leather and may affect its structure if repeatedly soaked.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. The Gazelle fit is generally considered true to size, but personal preference for snugness may vary.

What is the warranty on these trainers?

Typically, Adidas footwear comes with a manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please refer to the retailer or Adidas official website for specific warranty terms and duration.

Troubleshooting

Leather scuffing or marking

Gently clean with a damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner can sometimes help restore the finish.

Discomfort or tightness

Ensure you have the correct size. Leather will mold to your foot over time with wear. Consider using thicker socks initially or stretching aids if persistent.

Slight color transfer

This can occur with new leather. Wear with darker socks initially. If significant, consider a leather protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first).

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance can vary on wet or extremely smooth surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris.
