FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on a 2000s running design, they are intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than modern competitive running.

How do I clean the metallic silver details?

Wipe them gently with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as this may strip the metallic finish.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The EVA midsole provides moderate, balanced support suitable for most casual walkers.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the internal liners can be removed if you prefer to use custom orthotic inserts.

Is the mesh material durable?

The open mesh is designed for high breathability; it is durable for daily wear, but should be kept away from sharp objects to prevent tearing.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or debris in the open mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge particles from the mesh fibers without damaging the material.

Creasing in the midsole area

This is normal wear for EVA foam. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive retro 2000s aesthetic
  • Excellent ventilation thanks to open mesh construction
  • Responsive forefoot cushioning with Adiprene+
  • Lightweight feel for comfortable all-day use

Cons

  • Not intended for high-performance athletic training
  • Requires careful cleaning to preserve metallic silver details
  • Limited to specific retro-inspired colorways

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:

  • Fit: Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size (5.5) for optimal comfort, as the mesh upper is designed to contour to the foot.
  • Cleaning: Avoid machine washing. Gently clean the mesh upper with a soft brush and mild soap. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the metallic silver details to avoid abrasion.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the metallic elements from fading or the materials from becoming brittle.
  • Usage: These are lifestyle trainers; for extended longevity, avoid using them for heavy-duty sports or cross-training activities.
