FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The Onitsuka Tiger GSM trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer decent support for light activities, they are not intended for rigorous athletic training or performance sports.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Onitsuka Tiger, which typically includes measurements in centimeters or inches. It's also recommended to try them on if possible, or consult reviews for sizing advice, as some models may run slightly large or small.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers as it can damage the material and affect the shape and color of the shoe.
How often should I clean my suede trainers?
It's best to brush off light dirt and dust after each wear. Deeper cleaning or stain removal should be done as needed, depending on the level of dirt or exposure.
What is the main difference between the GSM and other Onitsuka Tiger models?
The GSM (Graffiti, Skate, Marathon) series often features a more heritage-inspired, low-profile silhouette with a focus on classic court aesthetics and durable materials like suede, differentiating it from more modern or performance-oriented models.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger GSM series is available in a variety of colorways. The specific 'Cream/Black' model is one of several options offered by the brand.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser. For stubborn marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.
Laces are worn or dirty.
Replace laces with new ones. Clean existing laces by handwashing with mild soap and water, then air drying.
Gum sole is discolored.
Attempt to clean with a damp cloth. For persistent discoloration, a specialized sole cleaner might be necessary, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
