Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers come ready-to-wear, no setup is required beyond adjusting the laces to your preferred tension. To ensure compatibility with your wardrobe, the neutral color scheme pairs well with everything from denim to athletic joggers. To maintain your shoes, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent specifically designed for sneaker materials and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
