Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required. Ensure you select your standard size for the best fit. To maintain the appearance of the black and gold colorway, wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth after use in muddy or dusty conditions. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the materials. For stubborn stains on the sole, use a mild detergent and a soft brush, taking care to avoid the gold accents to prevent scratching or fading.
