FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed primarily for fashion and casual wear, not for rigorous athletic activities. The materials and construction are optimized for style and comfort in daily use.

How do I clean the patent leather parts?

Wipe the patent leather areas with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the finish.

What is the fit like for the UK 12 size?

The fit generally follows standard UK sizing for trainers, but due to the specific design and brand origin, it's always recommended to consult size charts or try them on if possible. They are designed for a standard adult foot width.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and ensure longevity.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide good traction and withstand regular wear.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a dust bag can protect them from dust and potential damage.

Does the STA logo have any specific function?

The STA logo is a prominent design element and branding feature of the shoe, symbolizing BAPE's iconic status in streetwear culture. It does not have a functional purpose.

Troubleshooting

Slight creasing on leather

Natural creasing can occur with wear. Avoid over-tightening laces and store with shoe trees to help maintain shape.

Scuffs on patent overlays

Gently buff with a soft microfiber cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized patent leather repair product might be necessary, used with caution.

Discoloration of pink leather

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a leather cleaner suitable for colored leather. Ensure proper storage.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry thoroughly before re-lacing.
