FAQs

How do I clean the suede on my Y-3 Gazelle shoes?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the texture. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly and follow the product's instructions. Avoid excessive water.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

These shoes are primarily designed for fashion and casual wear. While they offer comfort and traction for everyday activities, they are not optimized for high-impact sports or athletic training.

How do I maintain the color of the suede?

Store the shoes away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Using a suede protector spray can also help maintain the color and prevent discoloration from environmental factors.

What is the fit like?

The Y-3 Gazelle Shoes have a regular fit. It is generally recommended to purchase your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit and sock thickness.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain, as water can stain and damage the material. A suede protector spray can offer some water resistance, but caution is advised in wet weather.

What makes the Y-3 Gazelle different from the original adidas Gazelle?

The Y-3 version reimagines the classic silhouette with premium suede construction extending to the tooling, and incorporates distinctive Y-3 and Yohji Yamamoto branding, offering a more luxurious and avant-garde take on the original design.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions.

Shoes feel slightly tight

Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Avoid wearing them in wet conditions initially.

Gum sole is dirty

Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner can be effective.
