FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Yung-1 is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker inspired by 90s running shoes, not for technical running performance.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The shoe features a supportive, chunky midsole that offers decent stability, though it is not a dedicated orthopaedic support shoe.
How do I keep the white fabric clean?
Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for sneakers before your first wear to protect against dirt.
Can these be machine washed?
Machine washing is generally discouraged as it can damage the glues and materials used in the layered upper. Stick to hand cleaning.
Is the Yung-1 a unisex shoe?
Yes, the Yung-1 is categorized as a unisex design, suitable for all genders, provided you select the correct size conversion.
Troubleshooting
The white exterior is showing scuffs
Gently rub the scuffed area with a white eraser or a damp cloth dipped in a mild detergent solution.
The laces feel loose during walking
The chunky design benefits from a snug double-knot or using the additional eyelets near the collar for a tighter lockdown.
Creasing in the toe box area
Creasing is natural due to the layered construction. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the silhouette.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Yung-1 trainers remain in optimal condition:
- Sizing: These shoes fit true to size. Ensure you select your standard UK sizing for the best lockdown fit.
- Care: As they feature a white exterior, avoid wearing them in muddy or harsh weather conditions to prevent staining.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the layered upper. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could damage the material finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white materials from yellowing over time.
