FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Hikari Shibata x adidas Gazelle Indoor generally follows standard adidas sizing. If you have worn Gazelle models before, select the same size.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can ruin the leather and adhesives. Always hand clean using appropriate leather care products.

Is this a unisex model?

While listed for adult use, the silhouette is unisex in style, though sizing is typically provided in UK men's/unisex standards.

Does the leather stretch over time?

Leather will soften and naturally stretch slightly to accommodate the foot, providing a more custom fit after consistent wear.

How do I identify if my pair is authentic?

Ensure your product includes the official adidas branding and check the MPN (IH9986) on the inner tongue label against the packaging.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box area

Creasing is a natural characteristic of genuine leather. You can minimize the appearance by using shoe trees when the sneakers are stored.

Difficulty keeping laces tight

Ensure you are using a standard 'runner's knot' or double knot. If the laces are slippery, replacing them with cotton flat laces can provide better grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Premium, high-quality leather upper
  • Sophisticated and versatile Night Indigo color palette
  • Timeless design that pairs well with casual and smart-casual outfits
  • Reliable and secure lacing system

Cons

  • Leather requires specific maintenance to avoid permanent staining
  • May require a short break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Limited availability due to the collaboration nature

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Hikari Shibata x adidas Gazelle Indoor remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in: If the shoe feels stiff initially, wear them for shorter periods during the first few days to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt. For leather stains, use a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  3. Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather to prevent liquid damage and scuff marks.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the Night Indigo color over time. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape when not in use.
