FAQs

What makes the Dice Lo Sneaker's leather 'vintage-effect'?

The leather is treated to have a surface layer that is designed to wear away with normal use, revealing a different base leather underneath. This creates a naturally distressed, pre-loved look over time.

Are these shoes suitable for sports or heavy physical activity?

No, the Dice Lo Sneaker is designed as a lifestyle and casual fashion sneaker. It is not intended for athletic performance or rugged outdoor activities.

How should I store these sneakers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in humid conditions.

Can the vintage-effect leather be restored to its original state?

The vintage effect is a permanent design feature meant to evolve. It cannot be fully restored to its original state once the wear process has begun, as this is part of the shoe's intended aesthetic.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of a textured rubber, with a portion of the material being recycled rubber.

Do these sneakers come in other colors or materials?

Axel Arigato offers various models and colorways. While this guide focuses on the Dice Lo Sneaker with its specific vintage-effect leather, other Axel Arigato trainers are available in different materials and finishes.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks appear too quickly on the vintage-effect leather.

This is an intended feature of the leather. If you prefer to slow down the process, apply a very light, neutral-colored leather conditioner specifically designed for vintage-effect finishes, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Discoloration on suede or nubuck panels.

Use a suede eraser or a specialized brush for suede and nubuck to gently lift stains. For tougher marks, consider a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces.

While the rubber sole provides traction, caution is advised on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris.

Laces are dirty.

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These sneakers require no assembly. Simply unbox and wear.

Compatibility: Designed as casual footwear, they pair well with jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual trousers. They are suitable for adult males.

Care: To maintain the unique vintage-effect leather:

  1. Wipe Clean: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust and dirt regularly.
  2. Leather Care: For the vintage-effect leather, avoid heavy conditioning products that might obscure the intended wear. Spot clean with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
  3. Nubuck/Suede: Use a specialized brush to maintain the texture of nubuck and suede panels. Protect with a suitable spray protector.
  4. Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth.
