FAQs

What makes the 'Crepe Hemp' version unique?

The 'Crepe Hemp' version is unique due to its use of natural materials like hemp canvas and suede for the upper, and a natural rubber crepe sole, offering a distinct texture and retro aesthetic not found in typical synthetic trainers.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

No, these are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle use. They offer comfort for walking and everyday activities but are not optimized for high-impact sports or athletic training.

How do I clean the hemp material?

For hemp, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap is recommended. Avoid saturating the material.

What is the origin of the Air Max 1 design?

The Air Max 1 was originally designed by Tinker Hatfield and released in 1987. The 'Crepe Hemp' model is an update inspired by a 2004 release, reimagining the classic silhouette with natural materials.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these in heavy rain or wet conditions, as the natural materials, especially suede and hemp, can be susceptible to water damage and staining.

What does 'Retro' mean in the product title?

'Retro' indicates that this is a re-release or updated version of a classic sneaker design from a previous era, in this case, inspired by a 2004 release.

What is the expected lifespan of the crepe sole?

The lifespan of the crepe sole depends on usage. With regular casual wear and proper care, it should provide good durability. However, consistent heavy use or exposure to abrasive surfaces may accelerate wear.

Troubleshooting

Crease marks on suede or hemp

Gently use a suede eraser or a soft brush to lift the nap. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Discoloration of natural materials

Ensure the sneakers are kept away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture. Clean with mild, specific cleaners for natural fabrics.

Slight odor from natural rubber sole

This is normal for natural rubber. Allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. You can also place baking soda inside the shoes overnight.

Sole appears less grippy over time

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing grip.
