FAQs

What is the main material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from smoky nubuck leather.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not optimized for high-impact athletic activities like competitive running.

How do I clean the nubuck material?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning and to maintain texture. For stains, a specialized nubuck cleaner and a soft cloth can be used sparingly. Always allow to air dry and brush afterwards.

What is the colour combination of these trainers?

They feature a Grey colour family with Black secondary accents.

What type of cushioning is used?

The trainers utilize EVA cushioning in the midsole for comfort and shock absorption.

Do they come in other colours?

What is the 'Italia' wordmark on the side?

The silver foil 'Italia' wordmark is a historical branding detail that references the shoe's inspiration from Italian-designed trainers of the past.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Nubuck can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them with thin socks initially. If still too tight, consider exchanging for a half-size larger, as sizing can vary.

Nubuck material shows water spots

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future water marks.

Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides grip, but like most trainers, performance on extremely wet or smooth surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. For added confidence in wet conditions, consider alternative footwear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Due to the nubuck upper, it is recommended to use a suede brush to remove surface dirt and maintain the texture. For tougher stains, a specialized nubuck cleaner can be applied sparingly with a soft cloth, followed by brushing once dry.
