The Onitsuka Tiger Tokuten features a supple calf suede upper, along with textile lining and a rubber sole.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
While inspired by sporty designs, the Tokuten are primarily lifestyle sneakers intended for casual wear and walking. They do not provide the specialized support needed for intense athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede material?
Clean suede using a soft suede brush to remove dust and light dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid excessive water, and consider using a suede protector spray for maintenance.

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser, applying light pressure.
Shoes feel too tight
Wear the shoes with thin socks indoors on a clean surface to allow them to stretch slightly. If they remain uncomfortable, consider a larger size.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. A suede protector spray can help prevent future water marks.
Fraying laces
Replace laces with a similar style and length. Ensure the new laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid stress on the eyelets.
