FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for basketball?
While it draws inspiration from basketball designs, it is intended as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker rather than a high-performance sports shoe.
How should I clean the suede?
Only use products specifically formulated for suede and always brush dry; avoid water-based cleaners unless necessary.
Does the ankle support feel stiff?
The ankle support is designed for security; it may feel stiff initially but will soften slightly with regular wear.
Are these shoes true to size?
They generally follow standard UK sizing, though the high-top fit can feel tighter around the instep for some users.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended, as moisture can cause water spots and permanent damage to the suede material.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede upper
Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift dirt in the direction of the grain.
Creasing at the toe box
This is common with suede materials; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since these shoes are crafted from suede, proper care is essential to maintain their aesthetic. Use a soft-bristled brush regularly to remove surface dirt and dust. If stains occur, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the material texture. For compatibility, the neutral beige tone pairs seamlessly with earth-toned palettes, monochrome black, or denim. Ensure you verify your size using the UK standard, as high-top construction can sometimes feel snugger than low-top counterparts.
