Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a specialized suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, use a suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Avoid water saturation.

What does 'Decon' mean in the product name?

'Decon' refers to a deconstructed version, often implying a sleeker, more minimalist design compared to the original model.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

While this guide focuses on the blue suede version, other colorways and materials may be available in the BW Army and related series.

What is the grip like on the outsole?

The shoe features nimble gum outsoles, similar to those found on the Samba lineage, providing good traction for everyday use.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaner guide.

Fit feels too snug

Ensure laces are loosened sufficiently. If still tight, consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in with short durations of wear.

Gum sole shows scuff marks

Light scuff marks can often be removed with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner. For deeper marks, a magic eraser may be effective with caution.
