FAQs
Are these shoes good for technical skateboarding?
Yes, the Zoom Air unit, durable materials, and excellent grip of the gum sole make them well-suited for technical skateboarding.
How do I clean the different materials on the upper?
Use a suede brush for suede, a damp cloth for leather, and a soft brush for mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals and soaking the shoes.
Will the patchwork design wear out unevenly?
Different materials have varying durability. The design is intentional, but wear patterns will reflect the properties of each material used in the patchwork.
What is the main benefit of the deconstructed design?
The deconstructed design offers a unique aesthetic and allows for a blend of different materials, potentially enhancing flexibility and comfort after a break-in period.
How is the ankle support on these shoes?
The mid-top silhouette provides good ankle support, which is beneficial for skateboarding and reducing the risk of ankle injuries.
Can I wear these for casual walking?
Absolutely. While designed for skateboarding, they are also stylish and comfortable enough for everyday casual wear.
Does the translucent sole affect grip?

Troubleshooting
Laces fraying quickly
Consider replacing with more durable skateboarding-specific laces.
Squeaking noise from sole
This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. It may reduce with use. Ensure the sole is clean and dry.
Discomfort on the sides of the feet
The patchwork construction might feel stiff initially. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in gradually. Ensure proper lacing to avoid pressure points.
Scuff marks on the white leather
Use a magic eraser or a specialized leather cleaner for white leather to gently remove scuff marks. Protect with a suitable water and stain repellent spray designed for leather and suede.
