Product Information

Full details

This guide is for adults seeking a stylish, nostalgic sneaker that blends '90s street culture with iconic basketball heritage. The key benefit is the unique blend of classic Chuck Taylor style with remastered, oversized '90s elements and enhanced comfort. A potential caveat is that the 'throwback' aesthetic might not suit minimalist style preferences. These unisex trainers feature a durable heavyweight canvas upper, bold '90s-inspired details like oversized eyelets and wide laces, and OrthoLite cushioning for all-day comfort, all built on a durable vulcanized rubber sole.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by basketball roots, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and style rather than specialized athletic support.

How do the '90s elements affect the fit?

The '90s elements like oversized eyelets and wide laces are aesthetic features and do not significantly alter the standard fit of a Chuck Taylor Ox. The cushioning is the primary functional update for comfort.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The canvas upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended without proper waterproofing treatment. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they get wet.

What makes the OrthoLite cushioning different?

OrthoLite cushioning provides a more responsive and comfortable feel underfoot compared to traditional insoles, offering better breathability and moisture-wicking properties for all-day wear.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a box or dust bag to protect them from dust and light. Avoid storing them in humid conditions.

Is the black colour prone to fading?

Like most dyed fabrics, the black canvas may experience some fading over time with repeated washing and exposure to sunlight. To minimize fading, clean them with cold water and avoid direct sunlight when drying.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too large or too small

Converse Chuck Taylors, especially those with enhanced cushioning, can fit differently. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. If they consistently feel off, consider using thicker socks or insoles for a snugger fit, or consult the sizing guide for potential exchanges if available.

Canvas material getting dirty quickly

Regularly brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For stains, spot clean with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth immediately after they occur. For more persistent dirt, follow the cleaning instructions in the 'Care' section.

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe bed. Try removing the insole and placing a thin piece of paper or powder underneath it. Ensure the insole is seated correctly.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Canvas: For general dirt, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid soaking the shoes.
