FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion, not for athletic performance like running.

How should I clean the heart-and-eyes logo?

Gently wipe the logo with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing, which could damage the print.

Do these run true to size?

Converse Jack Purcells generally fit true to size, but it's always recommended to check specific sizing guides or reviews if available.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper of this specific model is made from grey canvas.

Is this a limited edition item?

Yes, this is a limited edition collaboration between Comme des Garçons PLAY and Converse, making it a collectible item.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is strongly advised not to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the recommended method to preserve the materials and design.

What are the main colors of this shoe?

The primary colors are grey for the canvas, off-white for the rubber toe cap, and red for the pinstripe detailing and the Comme des Garçons PLAY logo.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff on first wear

This is common with new canvas shoes. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. The canvas will soften with use.

Slight color transfer from red details

This can occur with new items. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored clothing or surfaces until the color has fully set. Wipe any marked areas gently.

Dirt is difficult to remove from canvas

Try a specialized shoe cleaner for canvas or a paste made of baking soda and water. Apply gently with a soft brush and wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Rubber toe cap scuffing

Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consider using a rubber cleaner or a magic eraser very gently.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt from the canvas and rubber. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Stains: For tougher stains on the canvas, use a mild soap solution with a cloth. Gently scrub and wipe clean.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat or put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and glue.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
