FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from smoky nubuck with 'Core Black' accents.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. They are not engineered for high-performance running.
How do I clean the nubuck material?
Use a specialized nubuck brush for dry dirt and a dedicated nubuck cleaner or a slightly damp cloth for stains. Always allow them to air dry naturally.
What does the 'Italia 70s' refer to?
It refers to the heritage design, reviving a style from the era of vintage all-purpose training shoes of the 1970s.
What are the benefits of the EVA cushioning?
EVA cushioning provides lightweight comfort and shock absorption, making the trainers suitable for all-day wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers have some durability, nubuck is not inherently waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the material and ensure longevity.
What is the colour scheme of these trainers?
They feature a Grey colour family with 'Core Black' accents and silver foil branding.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with nubuck materials. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Consider wearing them with thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Nubuck material appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede or nubuck brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner following the product instructions. Avoid using water excessively.
Outsole grip seems reduced on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good grip under normal conditions. However, like most trainers, grip can be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care:
