How do I clean the patent leather parts?

Wipe patent leather gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a specialized patent leather cleaner can be used.

How does the sizing run for these trainers?

Sizing typically follows standard UK men's footwear measurements. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather and rubber offer some protection, it's advisable to avoid excessive exposure to heavy rain. Using a waterproofing spray can help mitigate water damage.

What is the brand's heritage?

A Bathing Ape (BAPE) is a Japanese fashion brand founded by Nigo in 1993, known for its distinctive streetwear and camouflage patterns.

Troubleshooting

Laces fraying

Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Consider branded or colored laces to match the shoe.

Clean the sole regularly. Use a specialized sole cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water, then rinse and dry.
