FAQs
Are these true to size?
Yes, these are generally true to UK sizing, but the roomier toe box provides a slightly more generous feel than the standard model.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles in the '70s series are designed for comfort, but they are removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
How do I maintain the silver texture?
Avoid abrasive cleaning brushes. Use a soft, microfiber cloth and light pressure to wipe away dirt to preserve the textured finish.
Are these suitable for sports?
While based on basketball history, they are now considered lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for high-impact athletic performance.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the heavy-grade canvas is not waterproof. It is best to treat them with a fabric-safe water repellent spray if you intend to wear them in light rain.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming stiff after storage
Gently massage the fabric by hand and wear them for short intervals to allow the natural heat of your feet to soften the heavy-grade material.
Rubber foxing showing minor scuffs
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of baking soda to gently buff out marks on the white rubber sections.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior durability compared to standard All Star models
- Improved arch and footbed cushioning for all-day wear
- Classic aesthetic that pairs well with various outfits
- Robust construction holds shape effectively over time
Cons
- Requires a break-in period due to heavy-grade canvas
- Limited water resistance in wet weather conditions
- Heavier feel on the foot than basic thin-canvas trainers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, avoid machine washing, which can damage the rubber foxing and glue integrity. Instead, clean the canvas using a soft-bristled brush and a mild detergent solution, then air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Compatibility-wise, these sneakers pair perfectly with denim, chinos, or casual skirts. Because they feature a specific fit with a roomier toe box, ensure you are wearing your standard UK size 5 to fully benefit from the intended arch support and heel lockdown.
