While originally designed with racing in mind, they are best suited for casual wear and light activities today. For serious marathon running, modern performance running shoes are recommended.
The shoe features a combination of breathable mesh and durable suede overlays on the upper, with a rubber outsole.
Use a specialized suede brush or a suede eraser to gently clean suede. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.
Sizing for retro sneakers can sometimes vary. It's recommended to check available size charts or reviews if possible, or try them on if purchasing in-store.

Loosen the laces and wear them with thicker socks for a short period to allow them to stretch slightly. If still too tight, consider if a larger size is needed.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser.
Clean any dirt or debris from the waffle pattern on the outsole using a brush or damp cloth.
