Official Adidas guidance describes distinct cleaning approaches for rubber soles and delicate uppers followed by room-temperature air drying. Material-specific care labels take priority: leather, suede and waterproof-membrane shoes may need different methods. Use only a small amount of model-approved mild cleaner; avoid bleach and mixing cleaning chemicals.

1. Check the shoe's care label and materials. Use the dedicated method for suede, leather or membrane footwear.
2. Remove laces and removable insoles and gently brush loose dry dirt off the mesh upper using a soft brush.
3. Clean rubber outsoles and midsoles with a suitable brush, a little lukewarm water and only a mild cleaner approved for that material. Avoid spreading sole dirt to the upper.
4. Gently wipe or softly brush mesh uppers, spot-testing first. Avoid damaging fibers or adhesive joints with hard scrubbing.
5. Wipe away cleaner with a damp clean cloth; clean laces separately. Do not use bleach, harsh solvents or mixtures of cleaners.
6. Air-dry inside and out at room temperature with ventilation, away from direct sun, heating, hair dryers or tumble dryers. Refit the insoles and laces only after full drying. Machine wash only if the model permits it.
