Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dry dirt, then dab with a damp microfiber cloth.
Midsole scuff marks

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature specialized materials like the mesh upper and the specific droplet pattern print, proper care is essential. To maintain their appearance, clean them by dabbing with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap; avoid fully submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial cleaners which could degrade the droplet texture. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the green and blue hues. Ensure the size is verified against standard UK adult fitting, as the structure is designed for a consistent, true-to-size performance fit.
