Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have consulted a Nike size chart. Consider that leather can stretch slightly over time with wear. If the fit is significantly off, check if you have received the correct size ordered.
Creasing on leather upper
Creasing is a natural occurrence with leather. To minimize it, avoid bending the shoe excessively when walking and consider using shoe trees when storing them.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate cleaners and store away from light sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.
Compatibility: Designed for adult male footwear sizes. Compatible with casual attire, athletic wear, and streetwear styles.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the leather and foam. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and potential damage. Avoid storing in direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are tied comfortably. The lace cage helps secure the foot, so adjust tightness as needed for comfort without over-tightening.
