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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and minimalist design
  • Excellent ankle stability for a high-top model
  • Premium suede material provides a high-end feel
  • Versatile sesame color matches most wardrobes
  • Blends athletic heritage with modern luxury

Cons

  • Suede requires careful maintenance to avoid staining
  • High-top design may feel restrictive to some users
  • Limited to casual use rather than high-performance sports

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.
