Full details

The Buffalo London Classic Low Trainers are designed for fashion-forward individuals seeking to make a bold statement with their footwear. Their key win is the distinctive 6 cm bulky platform sole that instantly elevates any outfit, from casual wear to more daring ensembles. A key consideration is that while stylish, the unique bulky aesthetic may not appeal to all tastes or be suited for all occasions. These trainers feature premium matte leather, comfortable padded lining, tonal rope laces, and signature Buffalo branding, all contributing to a retro-inspired, impactful look.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or dry.

Clean the leather surface gently with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner or protector to restore its sheen and protect the material.

Platform sole has scuff marks or dirt buildup.

Wipe the sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush using mild soap and water. For deeper scuffs, a magic eraser or specialized sneaker cleaner might be effective. Always wipe dry immediately.

Unpleasant odor from inside the trainers.

Remove the laces and tongue, and allow the trainers to air out in a well-ventilated area. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.

Setup

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the trainers from their packaging.
  2. Lacing: Adjust the tonal rope laces to your desired tightness for a secure and comfortable fit.
  3. Initial Wear: Try them on to ensure the padded lining provides optimal comfort for your foot size.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile for styling, complementing a wide range of fashion aesthetics:

  • Streetwear: Perfectly match with oversized hoodies, graphic tees, and baggy trousers.

  • Casual Chic: Can be dressed up slightly with tailored trousers or minimalist dresses for a sophisticated yet edgy appeal.
  • Seasonal Versatility: Suitable for all seasons, though best kept out of heavy rain and snow to preserve the leather.

Care

Consistent care will keep your trainers looking their best.

  1. General Cleaning:
  • For the matte leather upper: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Then, gently wipe with a damp cloth (not wet) to clean the surface. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to its instructions.
  • For the platform sole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water to clean any scuffs or dirt. Wipe dry immediately.
  1. Protection:
  • Apply a leather protector spray regularly to help repel water and stains, especially before first wear.
  • Consider a leather conditioner periodically to keep the matte leather supple and prevent cracking.
  1. Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
  2. Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  3. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry these trainers. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the leather or sole.
