Keep Your Adidas Adilette Slides Looking Fresh All Summer
As the weather warms up and summer steadily approaches, the time has come to bring out your tried and trusted adidas Adilette Slides! These iconic three-striped slides are perfect for casual wear. Originally developed in 1963, when a group of athletes approached Adi Dassler requesting a shoe made for the locker room, the adidas Adilette were officially brought to the market in 1972, shortly before the Summer Olympic Games in Munich. Designed with suction pads on the sole to prevent athletes from slipping in the shower, these slides remain a best seller to this day.
The adidas Adilette Slides are more popular than ever; follow this practical care guide to maintain longevity.
Clean Your Slides Regularly
The elements can be harsh on your footwear. Dirt, sand, and sweat can quickly accumulate, making regular cleaning of your adidas Adilette slides essential. Simply rinse yours with water after each wear. For a deeper clean, a soft toothbrush and mild soap will do the trick to eliminate grime and stubborn dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals on your adidas slides, which could damage the material.
Dry Them Properly
After cleaning your Adilette slides, let them air dry naturally. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods, which could cause the material to fade or even crack. To maintain their colour and shape, allow them to dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
Store Them in a Cool, Dry Place
Store your adidas Adilette Slides in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture build-up and potential mould. Store your slides in a breathable bag to keep them fresh when travelling.
Avoid Extreme Heat
Prolonged exposure to hot surfaces such as beach sand or asphalt can damage your adidas Adilette's. Avoid leaving them in hot cars in scorching temperatures or surfaces, as this may weaken the material and warp the slide's shape.
Swap Them Out Occasionally
Rotating between a few pairs of summer footwear is easy with the various colourways available at Studio 88, online and in-store!
