The combination of sturdy canvas and suede uppers provides a robust yet flexible feel, adapting well to the foot over time.

Suitable for general daily activities, light walking, and skateboarding.
Best used in dry conditions to preserve the white aesthetic and material integrity.
General Cleaning: For canvas areas, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub dirty spots.
Suede Cleaning: For suede panels, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended.
Stain Removal: Address spills and stains immediately. For white canvas, a diluted bleach solution can be used carefully, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals on suede.
Drying: Always air dry trainers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or yellowing. Stuff with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray, especially for the white canvas and suede, to help guard against dirt and moisture.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
