FAQs

What materials are the adidas Originals Tobacco made from?

The upper is crafted from rich suede, with the iconic 3-Stripes and heel badge made from buttery leather. The outsole is grippy gum rubber.

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, adidas Originals sneakers are true to size. However, fit can vary slightly. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to ensure the best comfort.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the shoes can withstand light exposure, the suede material is not naturally waterproof. Heavy rain should be avoided, and it's highly recommended to apply a water and stain protector spray for added resistance.

What is the 'Trefoil' logo?

The Trefoil logo is the original adidas symbol, first introduced in 1972. It represents the diverse world of adidas, with its three leaves symbolizing the three main landmasses: North America, Europe and Asia. It's now the emblem for adidas Originals, celebrating the brand's heritage designs.

Are the adidas Originals Tobacco suitable for athletic activities?

No, these shoes are designed as a leisure and lifestyle sneaker. Their construction with a flat midsole prioritizes classic style and everyday comfort over athletic performance or support for sports.

How do I prevent color fading on the Collegiate Green suede?

Minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Use a UV-protective suede spray if available, and clean regularly to prevent dirt buildup which can make colors appear dull.

What is the significance of the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber outsole is a signature feature of many vintage adidas designs, including the Tobacco. It provides excellent grip and durability while contributing significantly to the shoe's classic, retro aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the natural nap. For stubborn marks, apply a suede cleaner according to product instructions.

Leather 3-Stripes losing luster or looking dry

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. Apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner with a clean cloth to moisturize and protect the material.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size.

Outsoles seem to have reduced grip

Clean the gum rubber outsoles regularly with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt or debris that can impair traction. Ensure they are dry before wearing.

Care Instructions:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede and leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  2. Cleaning Suede: For general dirt, use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaning solution specifically designed for suede footwear. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Cleaning Leather: The buttery leather 3-Stripes and heel badge can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. For conditioning, apply a small amount of leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
  4. Outsole Care: Wipe the gum rubber outsole regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain its grip.
  5. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
  6. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
