FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

These shoes are a reissue of a classic design intended for casual wear and style. They do not feature the advanced technology or support found in modern athletic footwear and are not recommended for strenuous sports activities.

How do I determine the correct size?

It's advisable to check the adidas sizing chart. Vintage shoe designs can sometimes fit differently than contemporary models. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart is recommended.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and maintain their longevity.

What does 'Alumina' serrated 3-Stripes mean?

'Alumina' refers to the metallic color finish of the serrated 3-Stripes, providing a subtle sheen. The serrated edge is a characteristic design feature of this particular adidas model.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. For stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather, applied according to its instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the significance of the '1964 silhouette'?

This refers to the original design and shape of the shoe that was released in 1964, making this reissue a historically accurate homage to that era of footwear design.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Leather will naturally stretch slightly with wear. Wearing them with thin socks initially can help break them in. If still uncomfortable, consider thicker socks for a temporary stretch or consult with a shoe specialist about stretching options.

Leather shows scuff marks

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather conditioner or a colored shoe cream matching the 'Off White' color, applied sparingly with a soft cloth.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

New rubber soles can sometimes be slippery. Walking on rougher surfaces like concrete can help scuff the sole slightly, improving traction. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt and dust. For tougher stains on the leather, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain their shape and prevent damage.
