FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit according to standard UK adult sizing, though some users prefer a half-size up for extra width.

How do I clean the exterior?

Spot clean with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that may strip the colour.

Are these suitable for basketball?

While inspired by basketball designs, these are primarily fashion trainers and lack the advanced tech required for modern competitive court play.

What is the primary material?

The Centennial 85 typically utilizes a combination of leather and suede overlays for a premium finish.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended, as machine washing can damage the adhesive and the texture of the upper materials.

Does this model come in high-top versions?

Yes, the Centennial 85 series includes both low-top and high-top variants depending on your preference for ankle support.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the upper

Use a dry soft-bristled brush or a dedicated suede/leather eraser to gently lift stains.

Creasing in the toe box

Use internal shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe retain its natural shape.

Slightly tight fit

Ensure the laces are loosened significantly before entry and consider thinner performance socks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic retro-inspired styling
  • Versatile grey and green color palette
  • Comfortable for extended everyday use
  • High-quality construction from a reputable brand

Cons

  • Material may be sensitive to harsh weather conditions

  • Limited to specific aesthetic preferences compared to minimalist sneakers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you receive your Centennial 85 trainers, ensure you verify the UK size 8.5 fit with thin-to-medium thickness socks to gauge the true internal volume. To maintain the condition of the shoes, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the green and grey pigments. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper materials. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping or adhesive damage.
