FAQs

What are the main materials used in the LA Trainer OG?

The LA Trainer OG primarily features a Suede upper with textile accents, a leather sockliner, and a rubber outsole.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed as lifestyle shoes for casual wear and city adventures. They are not intended for specialized athletic performance like running.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoes?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid excessive water on suede materials.

What does 'deconstructed design' mean in this context?

It refers to a design that exposes or emphasizes the internal construction of the shoe, often giving it a more vintage or raw aesthetic, as seen in the LA Trainer OG's overall look.

What is the purpose of the heel plugs?

The iconic heel plugs are a distinctive design feature that adds visual appeal and contributes to the shoe's vintage aesthetic, along with potential minor stability benefits.

Do these trainers come in different colors and sizes?

Yes, the LA Trainer OG series is available in various colorways and sizes. Please check product listings for specific availability.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the suede and textile upper are not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose during wear

Re-tie the laces, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. Consider double-knotting if slippage is a persistent issue.

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product and follow its instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced grip on smooth surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. Excessive wear on the outsole may reduce grip; consider replacement if significantly worn.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider using insoles for added cushioning or support. Allow a break-in period for new shoes.
