FAQs
What makes the 'Protection Pack' unique?
The 'Protection Pack' series is distinguished by its intentional distressed aesthetic, featuring layered leather and suede overlays that give the appearance of wear and tear right out of the box.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
While they feature cushioning technology (NERGY), they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers. They are suitable for everyday activities but not intended for high-impact athletic training.
How do I maintain the distressed look?
The distressed look is inherent to the design. For care, focus on cleaning and protecting the materials (leather, suede, mesh) to preserve their condition, rather than attempting to alter the distressed appearance.
What is the material composition?
The sneakers feature a combination of leather and suede overlays on a mesh base, with a foam midsole and rubber outsole.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can damage the leather and suede materials and affect their appearance.
What sizes are available?
These are adult male sizes. Specific available sizes will vary, but the example provided is UK 12.
Troubleshooting
Uneven distressing on overlays
The distressed appearance is a design feature. Each pair may have unique variations due to the manufacturing process.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to new materials. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Discoloration on leather or suede
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean immediately with appropriate cleaners for the material type.
