FAQs
Are the New Balance 1954R trainers waterproof?
No, they feature a suede upper which is porous and can be damaged by water. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
Can I use these for running?
While inspired by 2000s running aesthetics, these are categorized as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for high-impact athletic running.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a specialized suede brush or eraser. Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water.
Do these fit true to size?
New Balance models generally follow standard sizing; however, since these are unisex, it is recommended to check the specific size guide for your UK measurement.
What is the ABZORB midsole?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance technology that combines cushioning and compression resistance to help absorb shock.
How do I protect the suede from future stains?
It is recommended to use a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time.
Troubleshooting
Surface dirt on suede
Gently use a dry soft-bristled brush to lift and remove particles without rubbing them into the fabric.
Water spots on the material
Let the shoes air dry naturally away from heat sources, then use a suede brush to restore the texture.
General dulling of the black colour
Use a suede renovator spray specifically designed for black footwear to revive the depth of the pigment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are crafted from suede, they require specific attention. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as water can stain and damage the suede texture. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede eraser or a designated suede cleaner. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the black and grey tones to fade over time. To maintain the shape of the footwear during storage, consider using wooden or plastic shoe trees.
