From the United States. I mainly bought these sneakers (all black version) for work as working in the restaurant business requires you to be on your feet for long periods of time. They are very comfortable, true to size and they are sort of slip resistant, at least better than the Vans I usually wore at work.

Look for the tag on the product which will have the size and other product information mainly inside the shoe that is behind the tongue of the shoe. Real Adidas shoes have tags with serial numbers for the left and right shoe. However, a fake product will have the same serial number on both shoes.

A: It is possible to wash these in the washing machine and they should be fine, however there is a risk of the shoe breaking down faster. I've provided a link below with useful tips on how to keep your adidas shoes clean. Thanks!
