FAQs

What does 'GS' mean in the product name?

'GS' stands for Grade School, indicating that these shoes are sized for children.

How do I know if these will fit my child?

Refer to the specific UK size listed (e.g., UK 5). It's best to measure your child's foot or compare with a current pair of shoes that fit well.

Is the dragon embroidery durable?

The embroidery is designed to be durable for typical wear. However, excessive abrasion or snagging could potentially damage it. Gentle care is recommended.

Can these shoes be worn for sports like basketball?

While the Dunk silhouette originated from basketball, these are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for kids. They offer good traction for general play but may not provide the specialized support needed for competitive basketball.

How should I clean the red mesh sockliner?

The sockliner can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking. If cleaning the insole, remove it and clean separately.

What is the significance of the 'Year of the Dragon' theme?

This edition celebrates the Chinese zodiac sign of the Dragon, a symbol of power, strength, and good fortune, typically occurring every 12 years.

Are these waterproof?

No, the materials used (leather, mesh) are not waterproof. They are designed for everyday wear and offer some resistance to light moisture, but should not be submerged in water.

Troubleshooting

Shoelaces keep coming undone.

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces with ones that offer better grip.

Scuffs or dirt on leather.

Wipe clean immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft brush. Follow up with a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.

Red dye from sockliner transferring to socks.

This can occasionally happen with new, brightly colored textiles. Washing the insoles separately or wearing darker socks may help. If it persists, contact customer support.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.

The rubber outsole is designed for multi-directional traction, but performance on very wet surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Exercise caution on slick surfaces.
