What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from an open-knit polyester mesh for breathability and durability.

How should I store them when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour and material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. To ensure a proper fit, it is recommended to wear the socks intended for use with the shoes during initial fitting. For care, keep the polyester mesh clean by gently wiping away surface dust with a soft, dry brush. If the trainers become heavily soiled, use a mild detergent mixed with lukewarm water and a soft cloth to spot clean, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage or warping of the midsole.
