FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adidas sizing, but suede can stretch slightly over time to fit your foot shape.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, never machine wash suede trainers. The water and agitation will permanently damage the texture and color of the material.
What does the text on the footbed say?
The footbeds feature the phrase 'Pressure Is A Privilege', honoring Billie Jean King's legendary mindset.
Are these suitable for intense sports?
These are lifestyle trainers inspired by tennis heritage; they are not recommended for competitive athletic performance.
How do I protect the light-colored suede?
We recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray before the first use and keeping them away from wet or muddy environments.
Troubleshooting
Surface dirt accumulation on suede
Use a specialized suede brush and work in a consistent direction to lift debris without matting the fibers.
Minor water spots
Gently dab with a dry microfiber cloth and let air dry naturally; do not use a heat source like a radiator.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the upper is crafted from premium suede, proper maintenance is essential to longevity. Always store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. For care, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can permanently stain or damage the suede texture. If you need to treat a stain, utilize a professional-grade suede eraser or cleaning kit specifically formulated for delicate materials. Ensure you apply a protective suede spray before the first wear to provide a basic layer of water and stain resistance.
