The primary material is premium leather. It also features an 'aged' sail midsole, exposed foam on the tongue, and special labeling from Union LA.

How do I clean and care for these sneakers?

Clean the leather with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Use a soft brush for exposed foam areas. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the vintage look.

Can I change the laces on these shoes?

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Natural creasing can occur with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.

Discoloration of aged midsole

The 'aged' look is intentional. Avoid strong cleaning agents that could alter the intended vintage appearance.

Laces fraying

Replace frayed laces with new ones. Consider using the alternative provided lacing options.

Uneven stitching

Minor variations in exposed stitching are part of the unique, deconstructed design. If stitching is significantly loose or damaged, consult a professional cobbler.
