This collaboration-inspired silhouette features premium glossy patent leather and a distinctive molded shroud, offering a sophisticated look that transitions easily from high-street fashion to casual outings.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature Air Max cushioning for comfort, they are designed as lifestyle trainers and are not intended for high-performance athletic running.
How do I clean the patent leather?
Use a soft, lint-free damp cloth to remove surface dirt and a patent-specific leather conditioner to maintain the glossy finish.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The Air Max cushioning provides a stable platform, but it is standard for lifestyle wear rather than orthotic-grade arch support.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather is durable, excessive exposure to water or mud can damage the finish, so it is best to avoid wet conditions.
How should I store these trainers?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, ideally with shoe trees to maintain the integrity of the molded silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on patent leather
Gently buff with a soft cloth and a dedicated patent leather cleaner to restore shine and remove light marks.
Sensation of the shoe being too loose
Consider using a thin performance insole to take up extra volume, as the slip-on design does not allow for tightening via laces.
Creasing at the forefoot
Use shoe trees when not being worn to help the upper retain its sculpted shape and minimize natural leather creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Air Max Dolce features a high-gloss patent leather finish, regular maintenance is key to keeping the shine. Avoid wearing these in heavy rain or mud, as the material can scuff easily. Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth to wipe down the exterior after each wear. For deep cleaning, utilize a leather-safe cleaner specifically designed for patent finishes. Ensure you store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its gloss over time. As these are slip-ons, ensure you select your correct size to maintain the intended fit without the need for manual tension adjustments.
