FAQs

What is the 'City Series' collection?

The 'City Series' was an iconic collection of trainers launched by adidas in the 1970s, with each model named after a major city.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday use. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or high-impact sports.

How do I best clean the blue suede parts?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the texture. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner and always test on a small, hidden area first. Avoid getting the suede wet.

What does 'Core White' and 'Blue' refer to?

'Core White' is the primary color of the leather upper, while 'Blue' refers to the color of the contrast suede 3-Stripes and heel tab.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is strongly advised not to machine wash these trainers. The leather, suede, and adhesives can be damaged by the washing machine's cycle and heat.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of a textured gum rubber, which provides lightweight grip and durability.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

The adidas Originals Paris is part of the 'City Series' which often features variations. This specific model is presented in a 'Core White' colorway with 'Blue' accents. Other colorways may exist within the broader collection.

Troubleshooting

Leather scuffs or stains

For light scuffs, try a white eraser or a specialized leather cleaner. For stains, address them immediately using appropriate leather cleaning products and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Suede losing its texture

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consider a suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Gum sole discoloration

Try cleaning the sole with a mild soap and water solution. Persistent discoloration may be a natural aging process of the gum rubber and difficult to reverse completely.

Faint odor inside the shoe

Ensure the shoes are completely dry. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: The adidas Originals Paris trainers are designed as casual footwear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, chinos, and casual trousers.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the leather.
  2. Suede Care: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the nap. Protect suede areas from water.
  3. Outsole Maintenance: Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
  4. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help retain their shape during drying.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to prevent dust and maintain shape.
