FAQs

Are these sneakers true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are leather, they may offer a snug fit initially.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, never wash leather trainers in a machine as the water and agitation will damage the material and construction.

How do I protect the white leather from stains?

Applying a high-quality leather protector spray designed for luxury sneakers can help repel water and dirt.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is crafted from premium leather, supported by a custom-molded expanded rubber sole.

Are these suitable for sports?

While they feature a basketball-inspired design, they are intended for lifestyle and fashion use, not for high-intensity athletic performance.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use cedar shoe trees after every wear to help smooth out the leather and absorb moisture.

Difficulty cleaning the white outsole

Use a soft-bristled brush with a mixture of mild soap and water, gently scrubbing the grooves of the sole.

Stiffness when new

Wear the trainers for shorter durations indoors to gradually break in the leather upper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for long-term comfort
  • Versatile design suitable for various style aesthetics
  • High-quality construction using premium leather
  • Durable expanded rubber outsole with shock absorption

Cons

  • Leather uppers require dedicated cleaning to prevent scuffing
  • The vintage silhouette may feel stiffer during initial break-in
  • Lighter colorways require protection against environmental elements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best initial fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks for your activity level, as leather uppers may stretch slightly over time to mold to your foot shape. To maintain the appearance of the white and beige leather, it is recommended to use a soft, damp cloth for regular surface cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the natural oils from the leather. For more stubborn dirt, a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner is advised. When not in use, store the sneakers in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help retain their structural shape.
