FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Campus 00s silhouette?

The Campus 00s silhouette is inspired by the chunky skater shoes popular in the early 2000s, combined with the heritage of the original Campus trainers.

Are these trainers suitable for actual skateboarding?

While inspired by skate culture and featuring a durable sole, they are primarily designed as lifestyle footwear. For serious skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes might offer more specific performance features.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning and a suede eraser for tougher spots. Avoid water and use specialized suede cleaning products for best results.

What does the '00s' in the name refer to?

The '00s' refers to the early 2000s, referencing the era that heavily influenced the design of this particular iteration of the Campus shoe.

Is the sole unit significantly different from older Campus models?

Yes, the Campus 00s features a slightly thicker foam sole unit compared to some older Campus models, with a noticeable curve upwards at the toe.

What are the accents made of?

The accents, including the laces, heel tab, collar, and 3-Stripes logo, are typically made of synthetic materials in a contrasting Core Black color, while the main upper is premium suede.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather, as water can damage the material and cause staining. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection, but caution is advised.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.

Shoes feel too tight

Wear thicker socks or use a shoe stretcher designed for suede. Ensure the correct size was purchased.

Soles appear worn

The foam sole is designed for durability but will show wear with heavy use. Professional resoling is an option for significant wear.

Water stains on suede

Allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Applying a suede protector can help prevent future stains.
