While they feature basketball-inspired design elements and Zoom Air, they are primarily marketed as lifestyle performance trainers.
Wipe the shroud with a damp, non-abrasive cloth to prevent dust buildup in the zipper mechanism.
Like most high-quality leather footwear, they will slightly mould to your foot shape after a period of break-in.
The insoles are designed as an integrated part of the performance system, so it is recommended to keep the original ones for the best performance.
The leather offers some natural resistance to light rain, but it is not waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Ensure that the internal tongue is smoothed out completely; debris near the zipper track can also cause friction.
Gently buff the area with a soft cloth and a professional leather cleaner designed for finished leather.
Check that the shoe size is correct for your foot width; improper sizing can sometimes compress the foam unevenly.
To ensure the longevity of your Converse SHAI 001 Premium Steel trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines. For the leather upper, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust regularly. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as this can crack the leather. Avoid machine washing, as the moisture and agitation will damage the structural integrity of the zip shroud and the internal cushioning. To keep the silver finish looking sharp, consider using a leather conditioner specifically formulated for metallic or treated finishes.
