FAQs

What is the primary material of the Elite Active Trainers?

The upper is constructed from a combination of 52% nylon, 38% suede leather, and 10% polyurethane.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

These trainers are designed for everyday casual wear and light activity. They feature a textured outsole for grip, but are not intended for high-impact athletic performance.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild cleaner suitable for suede, or seek professional cleaning.

What does 'deconstructed upper' mean?

This refers to the design aesthetic where the construction of the upper is intentionally visible or appears less finished, often highlighting the different materials and textures used.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the Elite Active series is available in various colorways, including brown, white/green, and grey/blue options.

What is the fit like?

The trainers offer a regular fit, designed for standard adult foot shapes. It is recommended to consult the size guide for the best fit.

What materials are used for the outsole?

The outsole is composed of rubber, EVA, and thermoplastic polyurethane for a balance of grip, cushioning, and durability.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a professional suede cleaner.

Laces becoming worn or frayed

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and color. You can find replacements at most shoe or accessory stores.

Reduced grip on the outsole

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.

Discomfort during extended wear

Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Check that the size is correct and consider using cushioned insoles if additional comfort is desired.
