These are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for fashion and casual wear. While they offer the classic Superstar comfort for walking, they are not optimized for intense athletic activities.
How should I clean the silk upper?
Gently wipe the silk upper with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Professional shoe cleaning services specializing in delicate materials are recommended for deeper cleaning.

Troubleshooting
Discoloration of silk upper
Avoid direct sunlight and excessive moisture. If minor discoloration occurs, try gently wiping with a dry, soft cloth. For significant issues, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in delicate materials.
Lace tassel detachment
If the coin tassel detaches, check if it can be re-threaded through the coin hole and secured. If the thread is broken, a cobbler may be able to reattach it.
Squeaking sound from sole
This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try walking on different surfaces to see if it subsides. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help if the sound is internal.
Creasing on silk upper
Some creasing is natural with silk and wear. To minimize, avoid bending the shoe excessively when walking and store with a shoe tree to maintain shape.
