FAQs

What is the main material of the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 'Velvet Pine' trainers?

The trainers feature a plush velvet upper in 'Velvet Pine' green with cream secondary colors.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

While they offer comfort and traction for everyday activities, they are primarily fashion trainers and not designed for intense athletic performance. The velvet material is best suited for casual wear.

How should I clean the velvet upper?

Gently brush the velvet with a soft brush or use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or soaking. For stains, use a specialized velvet cleaner.

What color are the accents on the trainers?

The accents are cream, contrasting with the main 'Velvet Pine' green upper.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these trainers in wet weather, as moisture can affect the velvet material and potentially cause discoloration or damage.

What does 'Mexico 66' refer to?

Mexico 66 is a classic model from Onitsuka Tiger, known for its iconic design and lightweight feel, originally released in 1966.

What is the material of the outsole?

The outsole is made of durable rubber, providing good traction.

Troubleshooting

Velvet material looks matted or flattened.

Gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the velvet nap to restore its texture.

Scuff marks on the rubber sole.

Use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution to gently wipe away scuff marks from the rubber parts. Ensure the cloth is not too wet.

Discoloration from moisture.

If the trainers get wet, blot them immediately with a dry cloth and allow them to air dry. Avoid using heat. For persistent discoloration, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in delicate materials.
