Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Ensure you are comparing against your UK shoe size. If still unsure, consult the adidas sizing chart or try on in-store if possible. Note that different models can have slight variations.
Camo pattern seems inconsistent
Each shoe features a unique cut of the Bape ABC Camo fabric, meaning the pattern placement will vary slightly between pairs, adding to their individuality. This is not a defect.
Gold branding starts to fade
Avoid excessive rubbing on the gold 'Stan Smith' text or the Bape logo. Clean these areas gently with a slightly damp cloth without pressure.
Sole becoming discolored
Clean the off-white sole regularly with appropriate shoe cleaner. Yellowing can sometimes occur with prolonged exposure to certain surfaces or elements; gentle cleaning can mitigate this.
