Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the brown dye over time. Since these are velvet, avoid wearing them in wet or muddy conditions. If they encounter dust or minor surface debris, use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the nap in the direction of the grain. For deep cleaning, refrain from machine washing; instead, use a specialized suede and velvet cleaner applied lightly with a cloth. Always ensure the detachable charm is securely fastened before wearing to avoid loss.
