The primary materials are creamy mesh for the base and various shades of creamy suede for the overlays, with white leather accents for the 'N' logos.
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
These shoes are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While comfortable for walking, they are not optimized for high-impact sports or running due to their specific outsole design and construction.
How do I clean the split outsole?

Troubleshooting
Suede appearing dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, consider a suede eraser or cleaner specifically designed for suede.
General dirt on mesh or leather
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For persistent dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. Use a damp cloth to wipe the traction patterns. The split design is optimized for typical urban walking; avoid wet or highly slippery surfaces.
Discomfort or poor fit
Verify the correct size has been selected. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear. Ensure laces are adjusted appropriately.
