These shoes feature a convenient bungee lace system that makes them ideal for active kids, though the intricate overlay design may require extra care during cleaning compared to simpler sneakers. Bringing a classic turn-of-the-millennium silhouette to growing feet, this model balances a futuristic aesthetic with modern performance technology like ABZORB cushioning.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

They are designed for general activity, school, and play, but are not specifically categorized as high-performance running shoes.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a damp cloth and mild detergent, gently dabbing the mesh areas. Avoid soaking the shoes.

Can I replace the bungee laces with regular laces?

The bungee system is integrated into the design. We recommend keeping the original system for the intended fit.

What is the sizing like for this model?

These follow standard New Balance UK sizing; it is recommended to measure your child's foot for the best fit.

Does the ABZORB cushioning wear out?

Like all foam technology, the cushioning will compress over time with heavy daily use, but it is engineered to maintain support for the life of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Bungee lace feels too tight

While the bungee is pre-tensioned, ensure the tongue is fully centered. If it remains too tight, check that the foot is positioned correctly on the footbed.

Sole unit picking up debris

The segmented design is effective for movement but can catch small stones; use a blunt tool to carefully remove any debris from the grooves.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy-to-use bungee lace system
  • Excellent impact absorption with ABZORB technology
  • Iconic, high-fashion Y2K aesthetic
  • Durable synthetic and mesh construction

Cons

  • Intricate overlays can be difficult to clean
  • Bungee laces are not adjustable like traditional ties
  • Beige/Grey colorway may show dirt easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers use a bungee lace system, there is no setup required; they are ready to wear out of the box. To ensure the longevity of the synthetic overlays and mesh, keep them away from excessive moisture and avoid machine washing. If the shoes become dirty, spot-clean them using a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and warm water. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the synthetic materials or damage the foam in the sole.
