Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser.
Gum sole is scuffed
Gently clean the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, carefully try a magic eraser on the rubber part of the sole only.
Laces or lining look dirty
Spot clean with a damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild soap. Ensure the area is dried completely.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow the soft suede to mold to your foot shape for a more comfortable fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
These sneakers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They are not intended for specialized athletic performance beyond their original handball roots.

- Outsole: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. A magic eraser can sometimes be used carefully on stubborn marks on the sole.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain their shape and color.
