FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Originals Billie Jean King trainers generally fit consistent with standard UK sizing.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede upper and the custom printed footbeds. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
What is the material composition?
These trainers feature premium suede uppers paired with a durable rubber outsole.
What do the markings on the heel represent?
The heel cap branding depicts the specific set scores from Billie Jean King's victory over Bobby Riggs in 1973.
Can I replace the insoles?
The custom footbeds are designed as part of the shoe's collectible appeal; replacing them may diminish the aesthetic integrity of the product.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dusty
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff the suede in one direction to restore the nap.
Water spots on the material
Lightly blot (do not rub) with a clean, dry cloth and let the shoes air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Difficulty maintaining the fit
Adjust the tension of the laces systematically from the bottom eyelets upward to ensure a snug, comfortable wrap around the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are crafted from suede, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud, as moisture can damage the suede texture. If the shoes become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and debris. For deeper stains, utilize a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser rather than applying water directly. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Compatibility-wise, these trainers feature a standard lace-up closure that allows for an adjustable fit, and they are best paired with crew or ankle socks to complement the low-profile tennis silhouette.
