Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. Wearing thinner socks may also help. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or try using a shoe stretcher.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction within the shoe. Try applying talcum powder under the insole or check if the laces are rubbing against the tongue.

Yellow tint on Air unit appears faded

The appearance of the tinted Air unit is a design feature and does not typically fade with normal use. If you notice discoloration, ensure the shoes have not been exposed to harsh chemicals.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

While the herringbone outsole provides good grip, performance on extremely wet surfaces may be limited. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. Use caution when walking on wet or slippery surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic retro design reminiscent of classic '80s basketball shoes.
  • Durable construction with high-quality leather materials.
  • Comfortable cushioning provided by the visible Air unit in the heel.
  • Stylish color accents (yellow and black) that stand out.
  • Reliable traction from the herringbone outsole.

Cons

  • The '80s silhouette might not appeal to those preferring modern, minimalist designs.
  • Visible yellow tint on the Air unit might be too specific for some color preferences.
  • As a reissue, it may lack some of the advanced technologies found in contemporary performance sneakers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trainers come ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: Designed as a unisex adult footwear, these trainers are suitable for most casual wear. They pair well with a variety of casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, and track pants.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the white leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush, being careful not to scrub too aggressively. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the foam midsole and rubber outsole. Stubborn dirt can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild soap.
  3. Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape while drying.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
