FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature AIR cushioning, they are primarily designed as retro basketball trainers. They are better suited for casual wear and light athletic activity rather than long-distance running.
How do I ensure the correct size?
The model fits true to standard UK adult sizes. We recommend checking your current athletic footwear size as a reference.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper provides some protection, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to maintain the condition of the leather and internal cushioning.
Does the high-top restrict movement?
The design provides stability, which inherently limits extreme ankle flexibility. This is intentional for support during movement.
How should I store these trainers?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather discolouration and material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases
Creasing is a natural characteristic of premium leather; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Stiff ankle support
Gradually increase wear time over several days to allow the leather and internal padding to conform to your ankle shape.
Surface scuffs
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a colour-matched leather polish to buff out minor surface abrasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Fit: These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to wear mid-weight socks for the most comfortable fit.
- Care: Since the upper is made of premium leather, avoid machine washing. Clean by wiping the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn marks and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking.
- Maintenance: Regularly remove dust from the crevices near the ankle collar to keep the internal padding fresh and supportive.
