Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather or print

Stuff shoes with paper or use shoe trees when not in use to maintain shape. Avoid over-tightening laces. Minor creases can sometimes be reduced with careful steaming and reshaping.

Discoloration of purple accents

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth rather than harsh chemicals. If discoloration occurs, consult specialized sneaker care resources.

Sole separation or wear

Minor separation can sometimes be addressed with strong adhesive designed for footwear. For significant wear, professional shoe repair may be necessary.
