FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from soft, grey suede.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

These shoes are designed for casual wear and offer limited support and cushioning, making them unsuitable for rigorous sports or athletic activities.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser for minor stains. Avoid water saturation; if cleaning with a damp cloth, allow to air dry thoroughly.

What is the main difference from the original BW Army model?

This 'Decon' rendition offers a softer suede upper and a more minimal, deconstructed aesthetic compared to potentially more structured or leather-based original versions.

What kind of socks are best with these shoes?

Ankle socks or no-show socks generally work best to maintain the sleek look of the low-top design.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as they can easily stain and be damaged by moisture.

What is the main benefit of the gum outsole?

The gum outsole provides reliable grip and traction on various surfaces, along with a classic aesthetic reminiscent of heritage adidas styles.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or stained.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Laces are worn or dirty.

Replace laces with a similar style and color. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water.

Gum sole is losing grip.

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth. Ensure there are no debris or residues causing a slippery surface.

Shoe shape is not maintaining.

Use shoe trees when not in use to help retain the shoe's original shape.
