FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 EX are designed for casual wear and light activity. They are not recommended for high-impact sports like running due to their construction and cushioning.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid water and machine washing.
What is the sole made of, and how is its grip?
The sole offers slip-resistance, providing good traction for everyday urban environments. The exact material composition is optimized for grip and durability in casual use.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the shoes offer some protection, suede is not ideal for prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a suede protector spray can help improve water resistance.
What is the heel height?
These trainers feature a flat heel, consistent with classic athletic shoe designs.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The primary material for the upper is suede, providing a premium and retro look.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or cleaner may be necessary.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. Suede and the shoe's construction will naturally conform to your foot over time.
Laces are fraying
Replace the laces with a similar style or material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight.
