FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of nubuck leather, providing a premium feel and classic look.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While inspired by basketball heritage, these are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and everyday activities, not specialized athletic performance.
How do I clean the nubuck leather?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a slightly damp cloth for stains. Always allow them to air dry naturally and avoid harsh chemicals.
What does the 'shell toe' feature provide?
The iconic rubber shell toe offers a distinctive visual element and adds durability to the front of the shoe.
What is the fit like?
These shoes have a regular fit. However, due to the nature of leather and classic design, it's recommended to check the sizing guide and consider your usual fit preference.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they get wet.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide traction for street wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and wear them with thicker socks for a short period. If still uncomfortable, consider if a size up is needed or if the fit is simply not suitable for your foot shape.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather wear. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the rubber outsole with water and mild soap to remove dirt and debris that may be affecting traction. Ensure the outsole is completely dry before use.
Water spots on leather
Gently wipe the affected area with a clean, slightly damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat. Consider using a leather protector spray suitable for nubuck leather.
