FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The adidas Japan Trainers are designed as lifestyle or casual wear shoes. While they have origins in training footwear, they are not optimized for rigorous running or high-impact sports. They are best suited for walking and everyday activities.

How should I clean the tumbled leather and suede parts?

For the leather, use a damp cloth and mild soap. For the suede, use a dedicated suede brush. It's recommended to protect both materials with appropriate waterproofing sprays.

What does the 'aged midsole' mean?

The 'aged midsole' refers to a design choice that gives the midsole a slightly worn or vintage appearance, enhancing the shoe's retro aesthetic. It does not indicate that the shoe is old or used.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the leather and suede upper are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a waterproofing spray can offer some resistance.

What is the sizing like for these trainers?

These trainers are available in UK women's sizing. It is recommended to check the size guide and, if possible, try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, as sizing can vary between models.

What historical event are these trainers linked to?

These trainers are a reissue of a classic low-profile trainer originally released in 1964 for the Tokyo Olympics.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit; a shoe tree can help maintain shape when not in use.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, consult a specialist leather cleaner.

Sole feels stiff

The rubber outsole is designed for durability. With regular wear, it will become more flexible.

Color transfer from 3-Stripes

Advise customers to be cautious with light-colored socks or if the shoes get excessively wet, as color transfer is possible with dyed materials.
