Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or scuffed

Use a dedicated suede brush or a suede eraser to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a specialized suede cleaner may be used sparingly, following product instructions.

Laces are worn or discolored

Replace laces with new ones. You can choose to use the original color or opt for a contrasting color to customize the look.

Midsole shows signs of wear

Clean the midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For yellowing, a specialized shoe cleaner or a mix of baking soda and water can sometimes help, but results may vary.

Holographic 'panther eye' loses its shine

Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing on the holographic element. Clean gently with a dry microfiber cloth.
