FAQs
What material are the Y-3 Gazelle Trainers made of?
The trainers are primarily crafted from soft suede for the upper, extending to the tooling. The interior features a lining of both leather and suede.
How should I clean the suede material?
Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dust. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid water saturation.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While inspired by the iconic Gazelle silhouette, these are designed more for fashion and lifestyle wear. The gum rubber outsole provides good traction for daily activities, but they are not intended for high-impact sports.
What does the Y-3 branding signify?
Y-3 is a collaboration between Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto and Adidas. The branding signifies the fusion of high fashion with sportswear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as they can be easily damaged by water and stains. Using a suede protectant spray can offer some resistance, but caution is advised.
What is the fit like?
The Y-3 Gazelle Trainers have a regular fit, designed for standard comfort. It's advisable to refer to sizing charts or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If slightly snug, wearing them with thin socks for a short period may help them stretch slightly. For significant tightness, consider if a larger size is needed.
Gum sole is dirty
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
