FAQs
What is the primary material of the Storm 96 2K trainers?
The trainers feature a combination of mesh and synthetic leather for the upper, with a rubber outsole and EVA midsole.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning and support for general wear and light activities, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than specialized running shoes.
How should I clean the leather parts of the trainers?
Use a slightly damp cloth or a mild leather cleaner specifically for footwear. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
What does the '2K' in Storm 96 2K signify?
The '2K' designation typically indicates a specific iteration or update to the original Storm 96 model, often involving design or material enhancements.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesive, and structural integrity of the trainers.
What type of grip does the outsole provide?
The trainers feature a textured, robust, high-grip rubber outsole designed for excellent traction on various surfaces.
Where is the crocodile detailing located?

Troubleshooting
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution as no tread offers complete slip-proof performance.
Discomfort or pressure points.
Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Ensure you have the correct size and width. Check if the laces are tied too tightly.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for footwear. Gently buff with a soft cloth.
