Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for running or other sports?
While comfortable for casual wear, these shoes are optimized for skateboarding. For running or other high-impact sports, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended.

How does the Zoom Air unit benefit skaters?
The Zoom Air unit is a pressurized air pocket located in the heel, providing responsive cushioning and absorbing impact from jumps and landings, which is essential for skateboarding.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
The suede material is not water-resistant. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in wet conditions to prevent damage and discoloration. If they do get wet, ensure they are dried properly.
What other colorways or variations are available?

Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or discolored
Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or direct sunlight. Use a suede protector spray designed for footwear.
Reduced grip on the sole
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Ensure the surface you are skating on is clean.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear. Consider using aftermarket insoles if more arch support is desired.
