FAQs
Is the sizing for the Fear of God '86 Hi true to size?
Yes, it generally follows standard adidas adult sizing, though the high-top structure provides a more snug, secure fit than low-top models.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is recommended to avoid wearing suede trainers in wet weather as water can cause staining and alter the texture of the material.
What is the primary material used?
This specific model features high-quality suede, which offers a premium aesthetic and feel.
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While the design is inspired by classic basketball silhouettes, it is designed for lifestyle and streetwear use rather than competitive sports.
How do I best maintain the sesame colorway?
Regular brushing and the use of a water-repellent spray designed for suede can help prevent light stains and maintain the integrity of the color.
Does the shoe offer good arch support?
The integrated sole unit provides balanced cushioning suitable for most users, though you can replace the existing insole if you require specific orthopedic support.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or marks on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the stain without damaging the nap of the material.
Creasing at the toe box
Insert shoe trees when not in use to preserve the natural shape of the toe box and reduce deep-set creases.
Laces becoming frayed or dirty
The laces can be removed and hand-washed in mild soapy water. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your '86 Hi trainers looking their best, use a high-quality suede brush to remove loose dirt or debris after each wear. If the shoes come into contact with moisture, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the suede to stiffen or warp. Because these are premium suede, avoid using standard leather cleaners or harsh chemicals. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain the structure of the high-top ankle collar. Given the specific sizing of this model, ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the suede construction may have less 'give' than synthetic mesh alternatives.
