A potential caveat is that the blend of materials may require specific care to maintain their appearance. Key features include a premium leather and suede upper, 80s-inspired deconstructed aesthetic, contrasting retro details, embroidered branding, and a textured sole for signature charm and a freshly worn look.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain the texture. Avoid using water directly on the suede.

Troubleshooting
Suede texture becoming matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction for best results.
Leather scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner or cream matching the shoe's color may be required.
Shoe odor
Allow shoes to air out between wears. Use shoe deodorizer sprays or insert cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Sole becoming detached
Minor detachment might be fixable with a strong adhesive suitable for footwear. For significant issues, consult a professional cobbler.
