FAQs
Are these shoes intended for professional tennis?
No, while they are inspired by a tennis legend, these trainers are designed for casual lifestyle use rather than professional court performance.
What materials are used for the upper?
Depending on the variant, the trainers feature premium leather or high-quality suede.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Generally, they follow standard UK sizing, but it is recommended to try them on as fit can vary slightly based on the specific leather or suede construction.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading and the materials from deteriorating.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the texture of the leather or suede materials. Always opt for hand-cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty keeping white details clean
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush to spot-clean white sections immediately after they become marked.
Suede material looking matted
Use a suede-specific brush to gently lift the nap of the material and restore its natural texture.
Sole grip appears slippery
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris that can interfere with traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature delicate leather and suede elements, avoiding heavy rain or muddy conditions is highly recommended to preserve their colour. To clean, use a soft, dry brush for the suede sections and a damp cloth for the leather areas. Always allow your shoes to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or the materials to warp. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape.
