Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They are not intended for rigorous athletic performance.
How should I clean the 'Preloved Yellow' colorway?
Clean with a soft brush for dust. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Specialized cleaners for leather and nubuck are recommended for stubborn stains to preserve the color.

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Try the trainers with different types of socks. If the issue persists, consider if a half-size larger or smaller might be more suitable, referencing the size guide.
Tongue feels stiff or uncomfortable
The oversized tongue may require a short break-in period. Gently flex it and wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow it to conform to your foot.
Discoloration on leather
Clean gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains on nubuck, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and a suede brush.
