FAQs
What makes the Vans COMME des GARCONS x Authentic 'CDG' special?
It's a limited edition collaboration between Vans and the renowned fashion house Comme des Garçons, featuring a unique all-over 'CDG' print on the classic Vans Authentic silhouette.
Are these suitable for skateboarding?
While they are built on the Vans Authentic skate shoe platform, their limited edition and collectible status mean many owners prefer to use them for fashion and casual wear rather than intense skateboarding to preserve their condition.
How do I clean the all-over 'CDG' print?
Gently wipe the print with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive materials or excessive moisture, as this can cause fading or damage to the lettering.
What is the best way to store these sneakers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box can also offer protection.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of white canvas, with a white leather lining in the collar.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear canvas shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as the material can absorb water and the print may be affected. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection for light moisture.
What size is this guide referring to?
This guide specifically references the Vans COMME des GARCONS x Authentic 'CDG' in UK size 6.5.
Troubleshooting
Print fading or peeling
Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive scrubbing, and high heat when cleaning. Store away from direct sunlight. If minor fading occurs, consider a fabric marker for touch-ups.
Canvas staining
Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth. Use a specialized canvas shoe cleaner for tougher stains. Protectant sprays can help prevent future stains.
Sole discoloration
Clean the rubber sole regularly with a damp cloth or shoe cleaner. For stubborn marks on the white midsole, a magic eraser can be carefully used.
Uncomfortable fit
Ensure the correct size is selected. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear. Check if the laces are tied too tightly or too loosely.
