FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, because they are made of suede, machine washing will likely damage the material and structure. Always clean by hand using specialized suede tools.
Do these trainers run true to size?
The Chuck 70 series often feels slightly roomier due to the re-crafted toe box compared to classic models; check the specific UK size 4 fit before long-term wear.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede can be damaged by water and mud. If they do get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Stuffing them with tissue paper can help maintain the shape of the toe box.
What is the benefit of the higher rubber foxing?
The higher rubber foxing provides better durability and a more authentic, vintage aesthetic consistent with 1970s basketball shoes.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the rubber foxing
Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized rubber cleaner to wipe away scuffs from the side walls.
Suede looks matted or flat
Use a suede brush in a back-and-forth motion to lift the nap and restore the texture of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these steps:
- Break-in Period: While the shoes feature enhanced cushioning, it is recommended to wear them for short durations initially to allow the suede to contour to the foot shape.
- Moisture Protection: Before wearing, apply a suede-specific water repellent spray to prevent stains and liquid absorption.
- Cleaning: Do not submerge in water. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for localized spots.
- Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent the grey colour from fading, and store in a cool, dry area.
