They are constructed with a combination of suede and mesh.

Troubleshooting
Suede looks scuffed or dirty.
Use a suede brush or eraser to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For stubborn marks, consult a suede cleaning guide.
Mesh feels less breathable over time.
Ensure the mesh areas are clean. Small particles can sometimes clog the weave. Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Laces are worn or frayed.
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and color for a fresh look.
Fit feels slightly tight.
Wear the trainers with medium-thickness socks for a few hours to allow them to break in. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct size.
