FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?

While the Sk8-Hi silhouette has roots in skateboarding, this special edition is primarily designed for casual wear and collecting. For serious skateboarding, consider Vans Pro Skate models.

How do I clean the red graphics on the shoe?

The graphics are printed onto the shoe. Clean them gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the print.

What does 'Upside Down' refer to in the name?

'Upside Down' refers to the alternate dimension featured in the Stranger Things series, which is reflected in the shoe's design elements and themes.

Is this a limited edition release?

Yes, the Vans x Stranger Things collaborations are typically limited edition releases.

How should I store these sneakers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or with a shoe tree to maintain their shape and protect the materials.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of suede, with some models potentially featuring reflective mesh accents.

Does the 'Friend Don't Lie' lettering wear off easily?

The lettering is printed, so it should be durable with careful wear. Avoid excessive friction or abrasive cleaning on the midsole where the lettering is located.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede cleaner and a soft brush. For light dirt, a dry brush may suffice. Avoid water, which can damage suede.

Sole is dirty.

Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. A mild soap and water solution can be used for tougher grime, followed by a rinse with a clean damp cloth.

Color fading.

Store the sneakers away from direct sunlight and heat. Use a suede protector spray as a preventative measure.

Laces are worn.

Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length. You can find replacements at most shoe stores or online retailers.
