Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush away dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a dry cleaning sponge. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are worn out or broken
Replace laces with a new pair. Ensure the length is appropriate for the shoe's eyelets. Consider durable skate-specific laces.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the outsole with water and a brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be filling the tread pattern. Ensure the surface you are skating on is clean.
Sole feels less cushioned over time
While the Zoom Air unit is durable, cushioning can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant performance loss occurs after prolonged wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure a proper fit by lacing them snugly, adjusting the tightness to your preference for skateboarding or casual use. The laces should be secured to prevent them from coming undone during activity.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for skateboarding, these shoes offer compatibility with most skateboards due to their grippy outsole and durable construction. They are also suitable for general athletic activities and casual wear.
Care:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking the material.
- Outsole and Midsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the white midsole, a magic eraser can be effective, but use with caution to avoid damaging the surrounding material.
- Laces: Remove and wash separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Using a shoe tree can help maintain shape.
