FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or intend to wear thick socks, some users recommend going up a half size.
Can I use these for intense athletic sports?
While inspired by basketball, these are designed as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for professional competitive sports.
How do I best maintain the glossy finish?
Use a light leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out.
What is the material composition?
The upper is primarily made of premium leather with specific glossy canvas overlays.
Is the sole non-marking?
The rubber outsole is designed for standard urban use and provides good traction, though it is not specifically rated as a non-marking indoor court sole.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is common with leather sneakers. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain shape.
Stiff fit upon first wear
Wear the sneakers for short periods indoors to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Dirt on the light-colored Sail panels
Gently spot clean with a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth using specialized leather cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature a leather upper, it is recommended to apply a leather protector spray before the first use to shield the material against water and stains. To ensure longevity, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away dirt; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial cleaners, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the adhesive. Laces can be removed and hand-washed in warm soapy water if they become soiled.
