FAQs
Is this model suitable for skateboarding?
While it features the Authentic construction, this is a collaboration piece intended for fashion, and skating will likely damage the all-over print.
How do I clean the white canvas?
Use a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and cool water, scrubbing gently in circular motions.
Does the shoe fit true to size?
Yes, it fits standard UK sizing, though the leather lining may feel slightly more snug initially than a traditional all-canvas Vans shoe.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the printed graphics and the rubberized lettering on the toe box.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the design is considered unisex, catering to a wide range of foot sizes.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the rubber toe box
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a damp magic sponge to gently lift marks without damaging the print.
White canvas appearing dull
Apply a light coat of fabric-safe protective spray when new to repel dust and liquid.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the leather collar lining provides a snug, structured feel compared to standard canvas-only Vans. To maintain the appearance of the white canvas, use a dry brush to remove loose dirt after each wear. If deeper cleaning is required, use a mild, ph-neutral cleaner specifically designed for canvas materials, and avoid machine washing to protect the printed graphics. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white fabric to yellow or the rubber to harden.
