Full details

Featuring a premium nubuck leather upper and signature heavy padding, these shoes offer exceptional support for long periods of wear, though their bulky, classic silhouette may feel too substantial for those who prefer lightweight or streamlined athletic footwear.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit according to standard UK adult sizing, though the heavy padding can make the initial fit feel snug.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and weaken the adhesive in the cupsole construction. Manual cleaning is recommended.

Are these suitable for professional sports?

These are lifestyle and skate-inspired trainers, not performance footwear for high-impact sports like running or court-based team athletics.

Does the nubuck require special care?

Yes, avoid getting the nubuck excessively wet, and use specialized cleaning products to maintain the texture and color of the leather.

What is the purpose of the gum sole?

The gum sole is made of natural or synthetic rubber, known for its superior grip and durability compared to standard foam outsoles.

Troubleshooting

Tongue sliding to the side during walks

Ensure the laces are threaded through the anchor loop located on the center of the mesh tongue to keep it centered.

Nubuck upper looks dusty or faded

Use a nubuck/suede brush to lift the nap of the material and restore its uniform appearance.

Outer sole traction feels slippery

Clean the bottom of the soles with a damp cloth to remove built-up grime, then wipe dry to restore the grip of the Pill Pattern tread.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-durability construction with premium nubuck leather
  • Excellent ankle support and comfort from extra padding
  • Versatile design suitable for both skate and casual use
  • Reliable traction provided by the trademarked Pill Pattern tread
  • Easy to put on and take off thanks to the integrated heel pull tab

Cons

  • Bulky design may not suit users looking for a minimalist aesthetic
  • Requires a break-in period for the heavy padding to fully soften
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance like running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Court Graffik trainers in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris from the nubuck surface. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather or nubuck cleaner specifically formulated for high-quality suede-like materials.
  2. Moisture Protection: Applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather/nubuck can help prevent moisture damage and keep the black finish looking fresh.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black dye in the leather over time.
  4. Lacing: The shoes come with sturdy, color-matched laces. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the tongue loop to prevent the mesh tongue from sliding to the side during movement.
