FAQs

What material are these trainers made of?

The trainers feature a leather upper with patent leather overlays and a durable rubber sole.

How should I clean the patent leather sections?

Gently wipe patent leather with a soft, damp cloth. A specialized patent leather cleaner can be used sparingly to maintain shine.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear, offering comfort for daily activities but not intended for high-impact athletic performance.

How do I maintain the shape of the trainers when not in use?

Using shoe trees when storing the trainers can help maintain their shape and reduce the appearance of creases in the leather.

What does the STA logo signify?

The STA logo is an iconic branding element of A BATHING APE, representing the brand's heritage and influence in streetwear culture.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and patent leather upper can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to ensure they are properly dried if they get wet.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs on patent leather

For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a specialized patent leather cleaner designed to restore shine and minimize imperfections.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural for leather. To minimize its appearance, ensure proper fit. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and reduce deep creases.

Discoloration of patent leather

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat, which can cause patent leather to yellow or crack. Store them in a dark, cool place.

Laces fraying

Replace frayed laces with a new pair of a similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid stress on the eyelets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Leather Upper: Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Patent Leather Overlays: Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. To maintain shine, a specialized patent leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight, which can cause yellowing or cracking.
  • Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before storing.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if necessary. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to protect from dust and moisture.
