FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks, consider a half-size up.

Can I wear these for running?

These are designed primarily as lifestyle fashion sneakers, not for professional running or high-intensity sports.

How do I style the translucent upper?

Use patterned or vibrant socks to create a unique look, as the color of your socks will show through the mesh.

Are they water-resistant?

The translucent material is not waterproof; it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

How should I clean the foam midsole?

Use a damp sponge with a small amount of mild detergent to gently scrub the foam areas.

Where was this design first debuted?

The silhouette was first unveiled at the Undercover FW18 show during Paris Fashion Week.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt inside the shoe

Remove the insole and use a soft brush or compressed air to dislodge debris from the mesh footbed.

Creasing on the translucent upper

Avoid over-tightening the laces and use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the upper's shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Innovative, eye-catching translucent design
  • Highly responsive React foam cushioning
  • Lightweight construction ideal for all-day wear
  • Exclusive collaborative styling
  • Excellent breathability due to the mesh footbed

Cons

  • Translucent upper requires deliberate sock styling
  • Material may show dirt or wear more easily
  • Design may feel less structured than traditional leather trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your trainers in optimal condition, treat them as a premium fashion item. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the translucent synthetic materials and the foam midsole. If the shoes become dirty, gently wipe the outer layer with a soft cloth and mild, diluted soap. For the footbed, remove the insoles periodically to air them out, ensuring they stay fresh. When not in use, store them away from direct sunlight to prevent potential yellowing of the translucent materials.
