FAQs

What is ABZORB SBS cushioning?

ABZORB SBS is a cushioning technology used by New Balance that provides excellent shock absorption in both the heel and forefoot, enhancing comfort and reducing impact during movement.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer good cushioning and support for daily wear and light activities, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and not specialized for high-impact running.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a suede brush for regular maintenance. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid excessive moisture on the suede.

What does 'Y2K-inspired' mean for the design?

It refers to design elements popular around the year 2000, often characterized by a blend of retro and futuristic aesthetics, which is reflected in the mesh, suede, and structured midsole of these trainers.

Do the reflective accents actually work?

Yes, the reflective accents are designed to catch light and reflect it back, increasing visibility in low-light conditions for added safety.

What is the primary benefit of the FuelCell technology in these shoes?

FuelCell technology contributes to a responsive and energetic feel, providing additional propulsion and comfort underfoot.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the mesh and suede offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials, especially the suede.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dry suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consider a dedicated suede cleaner.

Mesh feels stiff or dirty

Wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth. If necessary, use a very mild soap solution, rinse with a clean damp cloth, and allow to air dry completely.

Laces become worn

Replace laces with standard trainer laces. Ensure the length is appropriate for the number of eyelets.

Care Instructions:

  • Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
