FAQs
What is the inspiration behind the VS-1 collection?
The VS-1 collection takes inspiration from the radical DNA of early '00s match day style, specifically drawing cues from V1 football boots.
Are these trainers suitable for serious athletic performance?
These trainers are designed primarily for style and casual wear, inspired by football boot aesthetics. While comfortable for light activities, they may not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for intense athletic performance.
How do I clean the molded details on the upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the molded details. Avoid harsh scrubbing or cleaning agents that could damage the material or intricate design.
What does 'regular width' mean for these trainers?
Regular width indicates a standard fit that accommodates the majority of foot shapes. If you have notably wide feet, these might feel snug.
Can the lace cover be removed?
The lace cover is an integrated design feature. It is not typically designed to be removed, as it forms part of the shoe's overall aesthetic.
What is the heel type?
The VS-1 Contact Trainers feature a flat heel type, designed for stability and a grounded feel.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the VS-1 collection is designed as a unisex model, suitable for both men and women.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to secure under the cover.
Ensure laces are tied snugly but not excessively tight before engaging the lace cover. Adjust the lacing pattern if needed.
Felt tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
Material shows signs of creasing.
Some creasing is natural with wear, especially in leather or synthetic materials. This is often part of the shoe's character. Avoid excessive flexing or storing under heavy objects.
Discoloration on the upper.
Clean gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for the material. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive sunlight.
