Product Information

Full details

The Reebok Defiance 88 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of 80s court style and everyday urban comfort. Their key benefit lies in offering a unique, retro aesthetic with modern wearability. A potential caveat is that the vintage styling might not appeal to those preferring a contemporary look. These unisex trainers feature a premium leather upper in a tonal beige with gold metallic accents, a durable rubber cupsole for stability, and a design that evokes archive-freshness.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

The Defiance 88 Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort, offering stability for urban environments. They are not intended for high-impact athletic training.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Reebok or the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the given measurements for the most accurate fit.

Can I wash these trainers?

Washing machine use is not recommended for leather trainers as it can damage the material and the shoe's structure. Spot clean using a damp cloth and appropriate leather care products.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium leather.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Defiance 88 series is available in other colorways, including variations of white and gold. Please check the product listings for available options.

How does the gold metallic detailing hold up over time?

The gold metallic accents are designed to be durable. However, avoid excessive rubbing or abrasive cleaning in those areas to maintain their finish.

What does 'archive-fresh' mean in the description?

'Archive-fresh' suggests a look that is reminiscent of vintage items found in a brand's historical archive, implying a well-preserved retro style that looks new yet authentic to its era.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wearing them with thin socks initially can help break them in gradually. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size.

Leather scuffs or marks appear

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or a specialized leather conditioner. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe care service.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber cupsole provides good traction, but new shoes can sometimes have a slightly slicker sole. Wearing them outdoors on varied surfaces will help 'break in' the sole and improve grip.

Care Instructions:

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect the leather.
