Product Information
Full details
The D2 Rider Trainers in white are designed for adults seeking a sophisticated yet rugged aesthetic for casual, off-duty wear. Inspired by the brand's iconic Legendary 551 series, these sneakers feature premium perforated leather and a distinct, hand-distressed finish that elevates everyday outfits. While the tactile fuzzy laces add a unique style element, users should note that the distressed leather aesthetic requires specific care to maintain its intentional appearance over time.

FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
The D2 Rider Trainers generally follow standard adult sizing; however, since they are crafted from leather, they may stretch slightly to accommodate the foot over time.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing will damage the leather and the distressed finish. Always clean by hand.
Is the sole suitable for hiking?
While the sole is inspired by trail runners and provides great traction, these are fashion sneakers and are not intended for rugged, long-distance hiking.
How do I maintain the white colour?
Wipe down the leather regularly with a damp cloth to prevent dirt buildup, and use a leather-safe whitener if scuffs appear.
Can the laces be replaced?
Yes, you can replace the laces, though finding an exact match for the fuzzy texture may require looking for specialty lace manufacturers.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its distressed character
Apply a leather conditioner sparingly to restore suppleness, but avoid heavy polishes that may obscure the distressed texture.
Difficulty cleaning perforated holes
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently nudge out debris trapped within the perforations.
Fuzzy laces becoming matted
Gently brush the laces with a clean, soft-bristled brush to fluff the fibers back into their original state.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your D2 Rider Trainers remain in optimal condition, avoid submerging the leather in water. Use a soft, dry brush to gently remove surface dirt from the perforated sections. For spot cleaning the white leather, use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a cloth rather than directly to the shoe. The fuzzy laces are delicate; if they become soiled, gently hand wash them separately in cool water with a mild detergent and air dry away from direct heat to maintain their texture. Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably with a shoe tree to maintain their structural shape.
