What accessories come with the shoes?
The shoes come with interchangeable accessories, including M&M candy characters and their signature quotes, allowing for personalization.
Can I wear these for sports?
While built on the basketball-inspired Forum 84 silhouette, these shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and aesthetic appeal, not high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean the striped upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the upper and remove dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the materials and print.
Are the M&M's characters removable?
Yes, the shoes come with interchangeable accessories, including M&M characters, which can be attached or detached by the wearer for customization.
What is the best way to maintain the printed insoles?
Gently wipe the insoles with a damp cloth. It's advisable to remove them for cleaning and ensure they are completely dry before placing them back in the shoes to preserve the print.
What other color laces are included?

Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with new laces. Consider using higher quality replacement laces or the included colorful spares.
Printed insoles fading
Minimize direct exposure to excessive moisture and abrasive cleaning. Allow insoles to air dry completely if removed for cleaning.
Accessory figures detaching
Ensure accessories are properly secured according to their attachment mechanism. If a figure is damaged, it may not attach securely.
Leather upper scuffing
Use a leather conditioner or cleaner suitable for the shoe's material. Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth.
Difficulty attaching accessories
Refer to how the accessories are designed to attach. Some may slide into place, while others might hook or clip on. Gentle pressure is usually sufficient.
