The collaboration was originally released on October 27th, 2018.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of premium white leather.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and test in an inconspicuous area first.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, they are designed for adult wear and offer a blend of style and comfort suitable for daily use, especially when a fashionable statement is desired.

What makes this shoe a 'limited edition'?

It is a limited edition due to being a special collaboration between Comme des Garçons and Vans, implying a finite production run.

Can the CDG branding be washed off?

The bold black CDG branding is part of the design and is not intended to be removed. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could damage it.

What is the sole made of?

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on leather

Gently clean with a soft cloth and a mild leather cleaner. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair kit or professional restoration might be needed.

Discoloration of branding

Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals. If discoloration occurs, attempt to gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Squeaking sole

This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole if removable, though this is uncommon with this model.
