These trainers are designed for casual wear and indoor revisiting of the OG design, offering comfort and style. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully. Always allow the shoes to air dry.
What does 'translucent gum sole' mean?
This refers to the rubber outsole that has a slightly see-through, amber-like appearance, characteristic of many classic indoor sports shoes.

Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before brushing.
Gum sole has scuff marks
Try using a magic eraser or a rubber sole cleaner with a cloth to gently scrub away scuff marks. Avoid excessive force.
Laces are worn
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. Most athletic or casual footwear stores carry suitable replacements.
Discoloration from moisture
Avoid wearing in wet conditions. If they get wet, stuff with paper to absorb moisture and allow to air dry naturally away from heat. Suede may change color slightly when wet.
