FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual use and walking, not for athletic running.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended. Washing machines can ruin the suede material and compromise the bond of the vulcanized sole.
What does the text on the foxing tape say?
The text reads 'CRAFT WITH PRIDE TOKYO EST. 1994', marking the collaboration with NEIGHBORHOOD.
How do I ensure the suede lasts longer?
Use a suede protectant spray and keep them away from muddy or overly wet environments.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for Vans footwear.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from premium suede.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust on the suede surface
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris in the direction of the suede grain.
Discomfort during initial wear
The vulcanized build requires a brief break-in period; wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to mold to your foot.
Water spots on the material
Do not rub while wet; allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then lightly brush the area once dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you wear the correct size for the UK sizing standard, as the Authentic 44 follows a standard Vans fit profile. To maintain these trainers, avoid submerging them in water, as this will damage the suede. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust and dirt. For minor spots, use a specialized suede eraser. To preserve the color and texture of the suede, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before initial wear and reapply periodically.
