FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?
No, while the 950 series is inspired by 1980s basketball culture, it is designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear.
How do I clean the wool upper?
Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a damp cloth with a mild detergent formulated for wool.
Are these trainers true to size?
The 950 features a roomy toe box. Most users find their standard size fits well, but if you have very narrow feet, you may prefer a slightly tighter fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While wool is naturally durable, it is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent staining and saturation.
What is the primary material used?
The upper construction utilizes wool, providing a unique texture and warmth distinct from standard leather trainers.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface dirt on white wool
Use a soft dry brush to gently lift debris before attempting any spot cleaning with a damp cloth.
Creasing in the toe box
Insert a shoe tree when not in use to help the material maintain its shape over time.
Material feels slightly damp or humid
Remove the insole if possible and place in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sneakers feature a specialized wool upper, care instructions differ from standard leather or mesh trainers. Avoid machine washing, as the agitation and heat can damage the natural fibers of the wool. Instead, gently spot clean with a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth using a mild, wool-safe detergent. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or shrink. For compatibility, ensure you refer to the UK sizing guide for an accurate fit, keeping in mind the 'roomy' design allows for slightly thicker socks if desired during cooler months.
