Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too narrow

Try wearing them with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher for a wider fit. Some users find they loosen up with consistent wear.

Scuffs on the nubuck material

Gently use a nubuck eraser to lift scuffs. For persistent marks, a soft-bristled suede brush can help restore the texture.

Leather overlays appear dry

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a clean cloth to moisturize and protect the leather.

General dirt accumulation

Wipe down the entire shoe with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner designed for mixed materials, following product instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Designed for unisex adult wear. While inspired by basketball, they are best suited for lifestyle and casual athletic activities rather than intense sports performance.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather and nubuck surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
  • Nubuck Care: For the pebbled nubuck, a specialized nubuck eraser can be used to gently remove scuffs. A suede brush can help restore the texture.
  • Leather Care: Condition the leather overlays periodically with a leather conditioner to keep them supple and prevent cracking.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. It's recommended to store them in their original box or a shoe bag.
