FAQs
Is the '86 Hi suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is designed with a standard athletic fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the snugness of the high-top construction requires sizing up.
How do I protect the suede from water?
We recommend using a reputable, water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede before your first wear to provide a protective barrier against minor spills.
Does this shoe come with extra laces?
The sneakers typically include standard tonal laces to match the monochromatic design, but check your packaging for any included accessories.
Can I wear these for basketball?
While inspired by basketball silhouettes, these are designed as lifestyle sneakers. They are not intended for competitive sports performance.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert your own orthotics for personal comfort.
How should I clean the sole unit?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water to wipe down the rubber sole unit, then dry it immediately with a clean towel.
Troubleshooting
Surface scuff marks on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently buff the affected area until the nap of the suede is restored.
Visible dust buildup on the fabric
Regularly brush the sneakers with a clean, dry suede brush to prevent dust from embedding into the fibers.
Difficulty putting on the shoe due to high-top height
Loosen the laces significantly down to the mid-foot area to create enough space to slide your heel in comfortably without straining the back tab.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in peak condition, always use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after wear. Avoid direct exposure to moisture or heavy rain, as the natural suede material can easily spot. If you happen to scuff the suede, use a professional-grade suede eraser to lift the texture. For storage, keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the sesame finish. When lacing, ensure you don't over-tighten the upper eyelets to maintain the structural integrity of the high-top ankle collar.
