What does 'heritage branding' refer to?
Heritage branding refers to the inclusion of classic Onitsuka Tiger logos and lettering, such as on the heel tab and tongue tag, reflecting the brand's historical designs.
Can these shoes be worn by both men and women?

Troubleshooting
Leather appears scuffed or dirty
Gently clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Condition the leather periodically.
Suede toecap looks matted or stained
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Shoe shape is lost during storage
Utilize shoe trees made of cedarwood or plastic to help maintain the shoe's original form when not in use.
