The 323 series draws inspiration from classic New Balance models like the 320, 355, and Supercomp, featuring an exaggerated fang design and a flared midsole.

Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and structure of the trainers.

What does the 'flared midsole' feature do?

The flared midsole offers a distinct aesthetic and can contribute to enhanced stability and comfort during wear.

Are there other colors available in the 323 series?

Troubleshooting

Dirt marks on suede

Allow dirt to dry, then gently brush off with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied

Ensure laces are properly threaded and consider using a double knot for extra security.

Soles appear scuffed

Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a rubber eraser or a magic eraser (test on an inconspicuous area first).

Foot feels uncomfortable after wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Check that socks are providing adequate cushioning and fit.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Suede: For suede areas, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, applying sparingly and allowing to dry naturally. Avoid using water excessively.
  2. Cleaning Nylon/Synthetic: Wipe down nylon and synthetic parts with a slightly damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for stubborn marks, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Always air dry the trainers. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry these trainers, as this will compromise their structure and materials.
