FAQs
What does 'worn-out effect' mean for these trainers?
The 'worn-out effect' is a deliberate design feature that gives the trainers a pre-distressed, lived-in appearance right from the moment of purchase. It is an intentional aesthetic choice.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While they feature a rubber sole for traction, these trainers are primarily designed as a fashion statement. For high-impact sports or athletic activities, dedicated performance footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the reflective details on the tongue?
Gently wipe the reflective details with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing or using abrasive cleaners, which could damage the reflective surface.
Can I replace the extra laces tied around the shoe?
The extra laces are a key design element of the 3XL series. They are intentionally integrated into the shoe's aesthetic and are not intended to be replaced or removed.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of mesh and polyurethane, providing a blend of breathability and structured support.
Are these trainers heavy due to their size?
Despite their oversized appearance, the use of materials like EVA and mesh helps to manage the overall weight, aiming for a balance between substantial look and wearability.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure the cord stopper is functioning correctly. If it feels stiff, try gently cleaning around it. Do not force the cord stopper.
Uneven wear or scuff marks on the sole
This is often part of the intended 'worn-out effect' design. Minor scuffs can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth, but significant marks are part of the aesthetic.
Discoloration of the material
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean only with a slightly damp cloth and mild solutions as recommended in the care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are tied to your preferred comfort level using the front lace-up system and cord stopper. The extra laces wrapped around the shoe are a design feature and should remain as intended.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. These trainers are designed to complement a wide range of casual and contemporary outfits. They pair well with jeans, joggers, shorts, and even more tailored trousers for a high-fashion contrast.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the mesh and polyurethane upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material and the worn-out effect.
- Sole Care: Clean the EVA and rubber sole with a soft brush and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is dried thoroughly.
- Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be carefully removed and hand-washed with mild detergent. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the materials and color. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape.
- Worn-Out Effect: Do not attempt to 'fix' the worn-out effect, as this is an intentional design feature.
