FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Runspark series?

The Runspark series is known for its blend of retro styling and practical, slip-resistant outsoles, making them ideal for urban environments and everyday wear.

How should I clean the black and gold colorway?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, a mild soap solution can be used carefully. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally.

What year were these trainers released?

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit upon initial wear

The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Wearing them with medium-weight socks can also help stretch them slightly.

Reduced grip on very wet surfaces

While designed for slip resistance, extreme wet conditions can still reduce traction. Exercise caution on highly polished or very wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean from debris for optimal grip.

Color transfer to socks

Some color transfer may occur with the dark dye, especially during the first few wears or if the shoes become wet. This is usually minimal and can be reduced by avoiding excessive moisture and allowing the shoes to dry naturally.
