FAQs
What does 'Vintage Chlorophyll' refer to?
'Vintage' suggests a design inspired by older models, while 'Chlorophyll' refers to the specific green colorway of the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are primarily designed as casual lifestyle sneakers. While comfortable for walking, they do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for serious running.
How should I clean the suede accents (if applicable to other variants)?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and a suede eraser for marks. Avoid water, which can stain suede.
What is the recommended way to break in these shoes?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. The leather will naturally soften and conform to your foot's shape.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain, as excessive moisture can damage the leather and affect the shoe's structure.
What does SKU: FJ2530-300 mean?
SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit, a unique identifier for this specific product variation.
Is this a limited edition release?
The description mentions it as a 'Limited Resell' item, suggesting it may have had a limited initial release or is subject to reseller markets.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuff marks
For minor scuffs, try a leather eraser or a cream polish that matches the shoe color. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Discoloration from water
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. If water spots remain on the leather, use a leather cleaner and conditioner to restore the finish.
Slightly tight fit
Wear the shoes with thick socks for a short period, or use a shoe stretcher. Leather will naturally mold to your foot over time.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your type of leather. Avoid excessive water.
