FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing tennis?
These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, paying homage to the original style rather than serving as modern high-performance tennis equipment.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to clean off dry dirt. For stubborn marks, a dedicated suede eraser is recommended.
Does the blue colour fade?
Like many dyed materials, excessive exposure to direct sunlight may cause minor fading over time. It is best to store them in a shaded, dry environment.
What is the inspiration behind the branding?
The heel cap displays the set scores from Billie Jean King's historic 1973 victory over Bobby Riggs, a milestone moment in tennis history.
Are these trainers true to size?
They generally follow standard adidas sizing; however, since materials like suede can have a specific fit, we recommend checking your standard UK size.
Troubleshooting
Visible water or dirt spots on suede
Use a suede eraser to gently rub away surface stains and follow up with a soft brush.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape and minimize creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, start by applying a suede-specific protective spray before their first use to guard against light water and dirt. Compatibility is best with casual attire, such as jeans or chinos, which complement the blue colourway perfectly. When the shoes become dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this will damage the suede fibers. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the blue colour from fading over time.
