FAQs

What type of material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of premium suede and mesh materials, offering both breathability and durability.

What is the main cushioning technology used?

The shoe features ABZORB cushioning technology in the midsole, designed for superior shock absorption and comfort.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

For suede, use a suede brush for dry dirt and specialized suede cleaners for stains. Avoid soaking the material in water.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While comfortable for walking and daily wear, the 2002R is not specifically designed as a high-performance running shoe. It is best suited for lifestyle and casual athletic activities.

What makes the black colorway versatile?

The classic black colorway is highly versatile, allowing the sneakers to be easily paired with a wide range of outfits, from casual jeans to more styled athleisure looks.

What does the 'UK 13' in the title refer to?

This refers to the UK sizing of the shoe, indicating a size 13 in the United Kingdom's men's shoe sizing system.

Troubleshooting

Suede appearing dull or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

While ABZORB is durable, prolonged heavy use can lessen its impact absorption. Ensure proper cleaning and consider rotating with other footwear for extended shoe life.

Traction feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For extremely smooth or wet surfaces, exercise caution as with any footwear.
