The 1906R Brighton Grey is designed as a lifestyle sneaker, inspired by early 2000s running shoes, offering comfort for daily wear and light activities.
How does the N-ergy cushioning work?
The N-ergy cushioning is integrated into the EVA foam midsole to provide enhanced shock absorption and impact protection, contributing to a comfortable stride.
Are these suitable for serious running or athletic training?

How should I clean my 1906R Brighton Grey trainers?
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the mesh and synthetic overlays. For tougher dirt, mild soap and water can be used, followed by air drying.
What does the 'Ndurance' outsole offer?
The Ndurance rubber outsole is designed for durability and features a traction pattern with pods to provide a reliable grip on various surfaces.
What is the colorway described as?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, try wearing thinner socks or allow for a short break-in period.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces
The Ndurance rubber outsole provides good grip, but performance may be reduced on very slick or wet surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Color transfer from dark overlays
In rare cases, dark synthetic overlays might transfer color, especially when wet. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored socks or materials, particularly in damp conditions.
