'OG' typically stands for 'Original', indicating that this model is a reissue or a faithful representation of the original Speedcat design.
What are the main color accents on this model?
This specific model features a black suede upper with a white formstrip, white Jumping Cat logo, and metallic gold lettering for branding.
Do these shoes come in other colors or sizes?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede eraser or consult professional shoe cleaning services. Avoid using water.
Shoes feel too tight or narrow.
The Speedcat OG has a slim fit. If they feel tight, try wearing thinner socks or consider a shoe stretcher specifically designed for suede. For persistent discomfort, they may not be the ideal fit for wider feet.
Laces are frayed or dirty.
Replace laces with a new pair of a similar length and material. You can often find replacement laces at shoe stores or online retailers.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For increased traction on very smooth or wet surfaces, consider using aftermarket traction additives or consulting a cobbler.
