FAQs
What is the primary benefit of ABZORB SBS cushioning?
ABZORB SBS cushioning provides superior shock absorption and a comfortable, responsive feel in the rear and forefoot, reducing impact during wear.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While they incorporate performance technologies like FuelCell for responsiveness, their primary design is for lifestyle and casual wear, blending comfort with a distinctive aesthetic. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dry suede brush for everyday dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
What does the translucent TPU midfoot shank do?
The TPU shank provides structural support and stability to the midfoot, enhancing the overall feel and performance of the shoe.
What type of materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper combines a base of open mesh for breathability with overlays of premium suede for structure and a sophisticated look. Reflective accents are also included.
What era does the design of the ABZORB 2010 draw inspiration from?
The design draws inspiration from the Y2K era, specifically referencing the aesthetic language of New Balance's 99x series.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the materials offer some protection, suede is best avoided in prolonged wet conditions as it can be damaged. It's advisable to wear them in dry or mildly damp weather.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush away dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning feel over time.
The ABZORB and FuelCell technologies are designed for long-term performance, but constant heavy use can eventually lessen their responsiveness. Consider rotating footwear for extended product life.
Mesh area feels less breathable.
Ensure the mesh is free from debris or blockages. If it has been exposed to significant dust or dirt, a gentle cleaning with a damp cloth might restore airflow.
