FAQs
What are the main materials used in these sneakers?
The sneakers are primarily made from recycled nylon with details crafted from regenerated leather. The sole is composed of recycled EVA.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
While inspired by heritage running shoes, they are designed more for style and comfort in casual settings. For rigorous athletic activities, dedicated sports footwear is recommended.
How should I clean the Saffiano embossed parts?
The Saffiano embossed areas should be cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the various materials, including the recycled nylon, regenerated leather, and metal details.
What does 'regenerated leather' mean?
Regenerated leather is made from leather fibers that are re-bonded together, often using a binding agent, to create a material that can be used in fashion products, repurposing leather waste.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Emporio Armani. These are UK men's sizing. For reference, this specific product is a UK size 8.
What is the benefit of using recycled EVA for the sole?
Using recycled EVA in the sole reduces waste and the demand for virgin materials, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process while maintaining performance features like cushioning and grip.
Troubleshooting
Slight discoloration on leather details
This can occur naturally with regenerated leather. Try gently buffing with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Sole feels stiff after getting wet
Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use artificial heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
Reduced grip on the sole
Check the non-slip tread for any embedded debris like mud or small stones. Clean the sole carefully with a damp cloth or soft brush.
Metal plaque appears tarnished
Gently clean the metal plaque with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. For stubborn tarnish, a metal polish specifically designed for plated metals may be used very cautiously on a cotton swab, applied only to the plaque.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Due to the mix of recycled nylon, regenerated leather, and metal details, spot cleaning is recommended. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt.
- Leather Details: Avoid excessive moisture. If the regenerated leather gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Nylon Upper: For minor scuffs on the nylon, a specialized shoe cleaner for synthetic materials can be used sparingly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Sole: The recycled EVA sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure the tread is free from debris to maintain its non-slip properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect the materials and prevent dust accumulation. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors and degrade materials.
