FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?

What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a premium mix of leather, suede, and mesh for a balance of durability, style, and airflow.
How do I protect the suede from water?

What makes the 990v3 different from other models?
The 990v3 is known for its distinct aesthetic updates, including the red-lettered tongue logo and a specific midsole geometry that optimizes stability.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede panels
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt particles in the direction of the material grain.
Creasing on leather sections
Use wooden shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its shape and absorb excess moisture.
Slippage during wear
Re-lace the eyelets using the final 'runner's loop' to create a tighter lockdown at the heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As these are standard lace-up sneakers, setup involves adjusting the lacing tension across the midfoot to match your preference for either a secure athletic fit or a more relaxed feel. To maintain the integrity of the leather and suede upper, avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and a slightly damp, lint-free cloth for the leather sections. Keep the shoes away from prolonged direct heat or moisture to prevent material deformation. Store them in a cool, dry place to ensure the longevity of the cushioning technology.
