Can I put these in the washing machine?

Does the suede require special waterproofing?

Using a reputable suede-safe water repellent spray is highly recommended to protect the material from the elements.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or flat

Gently use a soft-bristled brush to comb the suede fibers in one direction to restore the natural nap.

Surface scuff marks on the suede

Use a specialized suede eraser to lightly buff the affected area until the mark is lifted.

Outsole loses grip due to dirt buildup

Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Out of the box, the Centennial 85 Low ADV is ready for immediate wear. To ensure compatibility with your daily activities, pair these with casual trousers or shorts to highlight their low-top silhouette. To maintain the integrity of the suede upper, it is highly recommended to use a protective suede spray before the first wear to repel moisture and dust. If the shoes become dirty, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a specialized suede brush or a soft eraser to gently lift debris from the nap of the material. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
