FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for basketball?

While the design is inspired by '86 basketball heritage, these are intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than competitive performance sports.

How do I clean suede shoes?

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser. Avoid using water or harsh household cleaning chemicals.

Do these run true to size?

Generally, the '86 Hi fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thick socks, you may consider a half-size up.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Suede can be damaged by water and may become stained or discolored if exposed to wet weather.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from high-quality premium suede, providing both texture and durability.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or flat

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material.

Stubborn surface stains

Use a dry suede eraser to buff the area gently, then brush away the debris.

Discomfort around the ankle

Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly at the top eyelets, allowing for more natural flexion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your '86 Hi trainers in peak condition, proper care is essential, especially given the delicate nature of the suede upper.

  1. Protective Spray: Before wearing, apply a high-quality suede-specific water and stain repellent spray to create a barrier against the elements.
  2. Cleaning: If the shoes get dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the beige color to fade over time.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most users, but given the structure of the high-top, ensure you adjust the laces fully when putting them on to avoid stressing the heel counter.
