FAQs
What makes the COLD CEMENT construction special?
COLD CEMENT construction refers to a method of bonding the sole to the upper using adhesives applied at room temperature. This process typically results in a more flexible and lighter shoe compared to traditional vulcanized methods.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, the Y-3 Tokyo Trainers are designed primarily for fashion and casual wear. Their very-low-profile silhouette and materials are not optimized for athletic performance or high-impact activities.
How do I clean the printed logos?
Clean the logos gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaning agents, which could damage the print.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper of the Y-3 Tokyo Trainers is primarily crafted from premium suede.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather, as moisture can damage the material and cause staining. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry completely and then brush the suede.
What are the main colorways available for the Y-3 Tokyo series?
The Y-3 Tokyo series is available in several colorways, including Black/White and Silver variations with different secondary colors like Off White or Cream.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser might be needed.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in. The leather lining will naturally conform to your foot shape over time.
Water spots on suede.
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Consider using a suede protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first).
