Questions answered
FAQ
What is the Adidas Italia 70s?
It is a retro lifestyle shoe from Adidas's 1970s European football archive. The slim suede upper and gum sole give it a classic terrace look that predates the Samba's current moment in the spotlight.
How does the Italia 70s compare to the Samba?
The Italia 70s is slimmer and more understated than the Samba, with suede instead of leather as the primary material. It appeals to people who like the terrace aesthetic but want something less common than the ubiquitous Samba.
Is the Italia 70s comfortable?
Like most flat-sole terrace shoes, it provides minimal cushioning. It is adequate for casual outings but not for extended walking. The suede upper is soft and comfortable on the foot.
Does the Italia 70s run true to size?
It runs slightly narrow with a slim European fit. People with wider feet should consider half size up. The suede stretches slightly with wear.
