FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of soft nubuck with synthetic leather overlays.
Are these suitable for sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While comfortable for walking, they do not offer specialized features for performance sports.
How do I clean the white 3-Stripes?
For the white 3-Stripes, use a damp cloth with a little mild soap. Gently wipe the stripes and then dry with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the surrounding nubuck.
What does 'Gazelle' in metallic gold signify?
The metallic gold 'Gazelle' branding on the side is an authentic detail from the original 1991 design, adding a premium touch.
What is an Ortholite sockliner?
An Ortholite sockliner is an insole designed for enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to overall comfort.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, washing machines are not recommended for nubuck and suede materials as they can damage the texture and structure of the shoe.
What is the primary benefit of the dimpled rubber outsole?
The dimpled rubber outsole provides reliable grip on various surfaces and contributes to the trainer's classic, retro aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Nubuck material looks dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, apply a dedicated nubuck cleaner sparingly and follow the cleaner's instructions.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the nubuck and lining to conform to your foot shape. The Ortholite sockliner will aid in comfort over time.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure laces are tied with a secure knot. Consider replacing them with different laces if they are worn or slippery.
