First released in 1972, this 2024 version maintains the iconic slim build that made it a staple.

Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dirty or stained.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Allow to dry naturally.
Laces are worn or damaged.
Replace laces with standard sneaker laces of a similar length and color. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.
Sole feels slippery.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. If the slipperiness persists, consider the age of the shoe, as rubber can degrade over time.
Fit feels too narrow.
Try wearing the shoes with thinner socks. If the tightness persists after a break-in period, they may not be suitable for wider feet. Consider socks that do not have a thick knit.
