FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running models, the V5 RNR is designed primarily for comfort and style in everyday casual wear. They are not recommended for intense or competitive running.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, especially the foam midsole and delicate details. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What does 'Y2K style' refer to in the description?

Y2K style refers to fashion trends from the late 1990s and early 2000s. In these trainers, it's reflected in the design elements like the retro silhouette, metallic accents, and specific sole detailing.

How durable is the mesh upper?

The mesh upper is reinforced with synthetic leather overlays, which enhances its durability and provides support. However, like all mesh materials, it can be susceptible to abrasion if exposed to rough surfaces.

What is the main benefit of the foam midsole?

The primary benefit of the foam midsole is its combination of thickness and lightweight properties, providing excellent cushioning and comfort for extended wear throughout the day.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the trainers are not waterproof. The mesh upper is designed for breathability, which means it will allow air to pass through, but also moisture.

What is the purpose of the 2000s-inspired grooves on the outsole?

These grooves are designed to provide better grip and traction on various surfaces, drawing inspiration from footwear aesthetics popular in the early 2000s.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit.

Reduced grip or slippery sole.

Clean the outsole grooves thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be reducing traction. Check for excessive wear on the rubber.

Discoloration of metallic details.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean metallic areas gently with a damp cloth and mild soap only when necessary.

Mesh upper appears dirty.

Spot clean gently with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a soft brush with a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
