FAQs
What is the main advantage of the vulcanized construction?
The vulcanized construction provides a lower profile and increased flexibility, leading to a better board feel and more natural foot movement during skateboarding.
Does the shoe offer good cushioning for impacts?
Yes, it features Zoom Air in the heel for cushioning and impact absorption, which is beneficial for landings. However, it is designed for skateboarding and may offer less overall cushioning than shoes intended for running or high-impact sports.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable for casual wear due to their design and cushioning, they are specifically optimized for skateboarding performance and durability. They can certainly be worn casually.
What makes the grip and traction effective?
The vulcanized rubber outsole is specifically patterned to provide excellent grip on skateboard decks, ensuring stability and control during various skateboarding maneuvers.
How can I ensure a secure fit?
Properly lace the shoes, adjusting the tightness to your preference. The padded collar and tongue also contribute to a secure and comfortable fit.
When was this model first released?
This particular sneaker model made its first entry into the market on June 29, 2020.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on the board
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the board's grip tape is also clean.
Discomfort during landings
Check the lacing to ensure a secure but not overly tight fit. The Zoom Air unit provides cushioning, but excessive impact can still be felt; consider adding aftermarket insoles if more cushioning is desired.
Leather creasing excessively
This is normal for leather shoes, especially with active use like skateboarding. Ensure the shoes are stored properly when not in use, and consider using shoe trees to help maintain shape.
Tongue feels uncomfortable
Adjust the position of the tongue during lacing. The padded tongue is designed for comfort, but minor adjustments can significantly improve the fit.
