Troubleshooting

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help them retain their shape.
Visible dust or lint on the material
Gently use a lint roller or a soft-bristled shoe brush to lift fibers and debris from the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers stay in top condition, it is recommended to keep them away from harsh environmental conditions that could scuff or stain the materials. Because of the specific purple and black pigments, avoid prolonged exposure to direct, intense sunlight to maintain color vibrancy. Compatibility is high, as the neutral-heavy purple tone works well with denim, monochromatic joggers, and technical streetwear styles. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris and a damp, non-abrasive cloth to spot clean any localized marks. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material distortion.
