FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?

Can I wear these for playing basketball?
While based on a basketball silhouette, these are lifestyle sneakers meant for casual use and do not contain the technical performance features required for modern court play.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the leather in water.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior is crafted from high-quality leather.
Are these suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, they are designed for comfort and durability during daily activities.
Can I replace the insoles?

Troubleshooting
Creasing appearing on the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing to help the shoe retain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Dirty white midsole
Use a soft-bristled brush or a magic eraser dampened with water to gently scrub the rubber midsole.
Laces becoming frayed or dirty
Remove the laces and soak them in warm, soapy water, then air dry completely before re-lacing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are low-top trainers, they pair exceptionally well with denim, chinos, or athletic joggers. To maintain the condition of the leather, avoid getting them soaked in heavy rain. For cleaning, wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the brown coloring from fading over time.
