FAQs

What does the 'XX' insignia on the sole represent?

The debossed KAWS XX insignia is a signature mark of the artist Brian Donnelly (KAWS), indicating his involvement in the design and collaboration.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

These are primarily lifestyle and fashion sneakers. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not designed for rigorous athletic activities like running or basketball.

How do I maintain the layered design elements?

Be mindful when cleaning to avoid damaging the overlapping materials. Gently wipe the leather and use appropriate brushes for any suede components. Ensure laces are tied consistently.

What is the significance of the doubled tongues and laces?

The doubled tongues and laces are a signature design element from the collaboration with sacai, adding to the deconstructed and layered aesthetic of the shoe.

What is the main inspiration behind the colorway?

The 'Neptune Blue' colorway and multicolored overlapping elements are inspired by KAWS' unique artistic style and approach to color.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

The leather upper offers some protection, but it is not waterproof. Avoid wearing these in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials and sole.

Troubleshooting

Laces appear uneven

Adjust the threading through the doubled eyelets to achieve symmetrical layering. Ensure both sides of the doubled tongue are positioned correctly.

Color transfer on socks

This can occur with new, vibrant dyed materials. Wear with darker socks initially or allow the shoes to air out further. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored socks until break-in.

Creasing on leather upper

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially with wear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As a finished footwear product, there is no setup required beyond lacing the shoes. Ensure the laces are threaded through the doubled eyelets correctly to achieve the intended layered look.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult wear and are compatible with standard sizing. They pair well with a variety of casual and fashion-forward outfits.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather upper. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a dry cloth.
  2. Suede/Nubuck Areas: If any part of the shoe features suede or nubuck, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid excessive water on these areas.
  3. Sole Cleaning: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Pay attention to the debossed KAWS insignias to ensure they remain clear.
  4. Laces and Tongues: The doubled tongues and laces can be cleaned by hand with mild soap and water, then air-dried. Avoid machine washing or drying.
  5. Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe tree or their original box, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust and sunlight.
