FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, inspired by retro sportswear. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the flame detailing?
The flame detailing is part of the shoe's construction. Clean it gently with a slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to scrub aggressively, especially if the detailing is printed or painted.
What is the best way to maintain the suede material?
Protect suede with a waterproofing spray specifically for suede. Clean with a suede brush and use a suede eraser for marks. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, the suede is susceptible to water damage. It is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What does 'OG' stand for in the product name?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original Gangster' in streetwear culture, signifying an original or classic version of a design. In this context, it highlights the trainers' inspiration from Palladium's original styles.
How does the PU sockliner contribute to comfort?
The soft molded PU (Polyurethane) sockliner provides cushioning and conforms to the shape of your foot, offering support and comfort for extended periods of wear.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular maintenance, these trainers can last several years, depending on the frequency of wear and the conditions they are exposed to.
Troubleshooting
Stiff fit initially
Wear the trainers around the house for short periods to break them in. The leather and suede will naturally soften with use.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Leather scuffs
For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a leather balm. For deeper scuffs, a colored leather repair kit might be necessary.
Laces wear out
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and color. Palladium offers replacement laces for some models.
