Getting Started

These sneakers are highly compatible with a variety of casual and smart-casual wardrobes. They pair well with:
- Denim: Blue, black, or grey jeans.
- Chinos: Beige, navy, or olive chinos.
- Shorts: Stylish shorts during warmer weather.
- Trousers: Tapered or slim-fit trousers for a more refined look.
Product Care for Red Leather
Proper care is crucial to maintain the look and longevity of your red leather Gazelles. Follow these steps:
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor scuffs or marks, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner. Apply to the affected area, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth and dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth.
- Conditioning: Every few weeks or months (depending on wear), apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the conditioner product instructions carefully.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Ensure the spray is suitable for dyed leather to avoid discoloration.
- Sole Care: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a soft brush and mild soap and water to remove dirt and maintain grip. A magic eraser can help with scuffs on the rubber.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Do NOT machine wash your leather sneakers, as this can damage the material and adhesives.
