FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing tennis?
While based on a 1974 tennis shoe, modern performance tennis shoes offer better support and durability. These are intended for casual, lifestyle wear.
How should I clean the suede?
Use a dry suede brush to remove debris. For light marks, use a suede eraser. Do not machine wash or soak the shoes.
Do these fit true to size?
The fit is generally standard for adidas Originals trainers. If you own other suede models from the brand, consider selecting your usual size.
What is the meaning of the branding on the heel?
The heel branding depicts the specific set scores from Billie Jean King’s historic victory over Bobby Riggs in the 1973 tennis match.
Is the material waterproof?
No, suede is naturally absorbent. It is recommended to use a protective suede spray to provide a basic water-repellent barrier.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the fibers in a consistent direction.
Dirt stains on the upper
Use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub the affected area. Avoid liquid cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes are crafted from suede, regular care is essential. To maintain the 'Off-White' appearance, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after every few wears. If the surface becomes lightly stained, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh household cleaning chemicals directly on the material, as this can cause discoloration. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to maintain shape and let them air dry naturally away from heating sources.
