FAQs
What is the primary design inspiration for these trainers?
The design is inspired by beach life, incorporating wavy lines that evoke palm trees and ocean waves, blended with urban ruggedness for city exploration.
How do the Max Air units enhance comfort?
The visible Max Air units in the forefoot and heel provide responsive cushioning, offering a superior sensation and reducing impact during walking and standing.
Can I adjust the fit of these trainers?
Yes, the trainers feature an extra lace set tightened with a toggle, allowing for a customizable and secure fit tailored to your preference.
What materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper is constructed with a combination of real and synthetic leather, along with airy knits and mesh for a balance of durability, support, and breathability.
How should I clean the suede mudguard?
Use a suede brush for regular maintenance. For stains, a suede eraser or specific suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid excessive moisture and water contact with the suede.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and urban exploration. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not specialized for high-impact running activities.
What is the function of the plastic arch on the midsole?
The plastic arch on the midsole provides additional support and stability to the foot's structure, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the main laces and the toggle-fastened lace set to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Experiment with different tension levels.
Dirt or stains on the suede mudguard.
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time.
While Max Air units are durable, their cushioning effect can diminish with extensive use. Ensure proper care to maintain the integrity of the midsole materials.
Creasing on leather components.
Creasing is natural with leather wear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and ensure proper shoe trees are used when storing to maintain shape.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth dampened with water to gently clean the leather and mesh sections. For tougher stains on leather, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Suede Mudguard: Suede requires specific care. Use a suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary. Protect suede from excessive moisture.
- Outsole and Midsole: Wipe the rubber outsole and foam midsole with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is trapped in the outsole tread.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if heavily soiled. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
