FAQs

What is the primary material of the Osiris D3 2001 Trainer?

The main upper material for this specific variant is genuine leather, providing durability and a classic look.

Are these trainers suitable for actual skateboarding?

Yes, the Osiris D3 2001 Trainers were designed with skateboarding in mind. They feature a durable and supportive sole unit built to withstand the demands of skating while offering protection and stability.

How do I determine the correct size?

These trainers typically follow standard UK adult sizing. For the best fit, it is recommended to measure your foot length and refer to a size chart. Many find them true to size.

What does 'chunky aesthetic' refer to?

The 'chunky aesthetic' describes the D3 2001's bold, oversized, and robust design. This includes a thick sole, padded tongue, and an overall substantial silhouette that became a signature look in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, it is strongly advised not to machine wash your Osiris D3 2001 Trainers, especially due to their leather construction. Machine washing can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Refer to the care instructions for proper cleaning.

How do I maintain the leather material?

Regularly wipe down the leather with a damp cloth, use a specialized leather cleaner for deeper cleaning, and apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

Troubleshooting

My trainers are making a squeaking sound.

A common cause for squeaking is friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda inside the shoe, then replace the insoles. This can reduce friction.

The leather looks dull or has minor scuffs.

Clean the area with a damp cloth and mild soap (or specialized leather cleaner). Once dry, apply a leather conditioner or polish in a matching color to restore shine and cover minor abrasions.

My feet feel uncomfortable or the shoes are too stiff.

The robust construction of the D3 2001 may require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to soften and mold to your feet. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks.

The soles seem to be losing grip.

Check the outsole for embedded debris (like small stones or mud) and clean it thoroughly. If the tread is significantly worn down, the sole's grip may be permanently reduced, indicating natural wear and tear.

Unpleasant odor developing inside the trainers.

Remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out. You can sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out in the morning. Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

As a trainer, no specific setup is required beyond trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Consider wearing socks similar to what you'd typically use to get an accurate feel for the size 9.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with a wide range of casual and streetwear clothing. Their bold aesthetic pairs well with baggy jeans, cargo pants, hoodies, and t-shirts, reflecting their roots in skate and hip-hop culture.

Care Instructions:

To ensure your Osiris D3 2001 Trainers maintain their appearance and longevity, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before first wear.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away loose dirt and dust after each use.
  3. Deep Cleaning (Leather): For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth, gently rub the affected area in small circular motions, then wipe off any residue with a separate damp cloth.
  4. Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  5. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product's instructions.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  7. Avoid Machine Washing: Never put leather trainers in a washing machine or tumble dryer, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
