Conditions:

  • Items must be unworn, unwashed, and in original condition with all tags/labels attached.

  • Shoes should be in their original shoebox; clothing must have tags attached.

  • Proof of purchase is required (receipt, order confirmation email, or packing slip).

Exclusions:

  • Hygiene-sensitive items: face masks, swimwear, socks, underwear, hats/caps, water bottles, goggles (unless faulty).

  • Personalised/custom products (e.g., printed jerseys, custom shoes) are non-returnable unless faulty.

Faulty or incorrect items: Covered under Australian Consumer Law beyond 30 days. Adidas will repair, replace, or refund as appropriate.

How to return an item to
Adidas

In-store purchases: Return to any Adidas retail store in Australia with the item in original condition, proof of purchase, and original packaging if possible. Store returns are only accepted for items purchased in-store.

Online purchases (adidas.com.au):

  1. Log in to your Adidas account or use the guest order tracker on the returns portal.

  2. Select the item(s) to return and the reason.

  3. Print the Australia Post prepaid return label (free for most returns) or display the QR code at a post office.

  4. Pack securely, include your packing slip/order number, affix the label, and lodge at Australia Post.

  5. Keep your tracking number until your refund is confirmed.

Note: Online orders must be returned by mail. Stores cannot process online returns, and vice versa.

Exchanges: Online returns are refund-only. Reorder the replacement item separately.

Faulty/incorrect items: Initiate via the returns portal and contact Adidas Customer Service for fast-tracking. Provide photos where possible.
