Compatibility: These trainers are compatible with a wide range of casual wear, including jeans, shorts, track pants, and more.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Maintaining the Translucent Outsole: Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. For yellowing or scuffs, specialized sneaker cleaning solutions or a magic eraser can be used cautiously. Sunlight exposure can sometimes aid in restoring clarity, but prolonged direct exposure should be avoided.
  3. Cleaning the Reflective Tongue: Use a dry, soft brush to remove dust. For smudges, a lightly damp cloth can be used carefully, ensuring not to saturate the material.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
