Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While designed with a heritage rooted in sports, their current appeal leans towards casual wear and light athletic activities. For intense or specialized sports, consider footwear engineered for those specific demands.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser for minor marks. Avoid water, as it can stain suede. For tougher stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of suede, with leather detailing on the heel tab and the signature 3-Stripes.

It features a gum rubber outsole, known for its excellent traction and durability.
What is the original release date and price?

Can I wear these in wet weather?
Due to the suede material, these shoes are not ideal for wet weather conditions as they can be easily damaged and stained by water.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid excessive water.
Gum sole is scuffed or dirty
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes help lift marks, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel a bit stiff initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. The suede and leather will naturally soften with wear.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with a similar style or material. You can find replacement laces at most shoe stores or online retailers.
