FAQs

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from smoky nubuck with 'Core Black' leather accents.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and vintage style, not for high-intensity athletic performance. They offer comfort and grip for everyday activities.

How should I clean the nubuck material?

Use a soft brush to remove dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth is recommended, and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.

What kind of cushioning do these trainers have?

They feature EVA cushioning in the midsole for comfort during wear.

Do these trainers come in other colours?

This specific model is described as grey with black accents. Please check product listings for availability of other colourways in the Italia 70s series.

What does the 'Italia' wordmark signify?

The silver foil 'Italia' wordmarks are a design element reflecting the shoe's heritage and connection to Italian-inspired vintage training styles.

How durable are the rubber toe bumpers?

The rubber toe bumpers are designed to enhance the durability of the trainers, protecting them from wear and tear in that specific area.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels too tight or loose

Adjust the laces to find a secure but comfortable fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size based on the size guide.

Nubuck material looks scuffed or dirty

Use a dedicated nubuck brush to gently restore the nap. For persistent marks, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth may help, followed by brushing.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsoles are clean and free from excessive debris. For newly purchased shoes, the soles may initially have a smoother finish; light wear can improve grip.

Discoloration of the leather or nubuck

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry away from heat.
