Product Information

Full details

The Axel Arigato Slow Runner trainers are designed for the style-conscious adult male seeking a versatile, low-profile sneaker that blends deconstructed design with everyday comfort. The key benefit is their unique aesthetic, combining premium leather and suede with intricate paneling for a sophisticated yet relaxed look. A potential caveat is that the trainers are noted to run large, so sizing down may be necessary for a perfect fit. Key features include a mixed-material upper, a sleek flat outsole with a knit-inspired texture, and raw details that evoke a vintage running silhouette.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the Axel Arigato Slow Runner trainers?

The upper is primarily constructed from 100% Calf Leather (Bos Taurus), complemented by suede and nubuck panels.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running silhouettes, these trainers are designed for casual wear and style, not for high-impact athletic running.

How should I clean the mixed-material upper?

Gently brush off loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner for the leather parts and a suede cleaner for the suede. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The specific model variant is brown/tan with a gum sole. Other colorways and variations of the Slow Runner series may be available.

What does 'deconstructed details' mean in this context?

It refers to design elements that deliberately appear unfinished or raw, inspired by vintage athletic wear, giving the shoe a unique, modern aesthetic.

What is the material of the outsole?

The outsole is made of 100% rubber, featuring a sleek, flat design with a distinctive knit-inspired texture.

What is the recommended fit for these trainers?

The product information indicates that the trainers run large. It is recommended to consider ordering a size down from your usual shoe size.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems too large

The product description notes that these trainers run large. Consider purchasing half a size down from your usual size for a snugger fit. If you have already purchased, you may need to use insoles for better fitting.

Leather or suede scuff marks

For light scuffs on leather, try a leather conditioner or polish. For suede, use a suede eraser and brush. For persistent marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Sole feels stiff initially

The rubber sole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot's shape.
