FAQs
What is the primary technology used for cushioning?
The trainers utilize ABZORB and ABZORB SBS technology in the midsole and heel for superior impact absorption and cushioning.
What materials are used in the construction?
The upper is constructed with a combination of mesh and leather overlays.
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
While they offer good cushioning, their design is more geared towards a blend of style and comfort for casual wear and light athletic activities, rather than high-performance running.
How do I clean the leather and mesh parts?
For leather, use a damp cloth. For mesh, a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution is recommended. Always air dry.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The design draws inspiration from classic New Balance silhouettes like the 990 and 991, combined with elements reminiscent of the 860, to create a modern, high-octane look.
What does the 'Castlerock' colorway signify?
Castlerock refers to the specific color scheme of the shoe, featuring grey and blue tones with black leather accents.
What is the retail price of these trainers?
The original retail price was $150.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness or discomfort
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Laces coming undone easily
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot, or consider replacing them with laces that have better grip.
Slight color transfer on socks
This can occasionally happen with new, dark-colored footwear. Try wiping the inside of the shoe with a slightly damp cloth and allowing it to dry completely before wearing.
