What is the origin of the Y2K style revival?

Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before brushing.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the trainers for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Avoid prolonged wear until they feel comfortable.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, attempt to brush out the stain with a suede brush. For persistent stains, professional cleaning may be necessary.
