FAQs
What material are these trainers made of?
The Onitsuka Tiger California 78 EX trainers in this colorway are primarily constructed with suede.
Are these suitable for running or intense sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They offer basic support but are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner or a damp cloth can be used with caution. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first and allow the shoes to air dry.
What is the fit like for these trainers?
They feature a standard fit with a round toe and flat heel, designed for everyday comfort. It is recommended to refer to sizing charts for the best fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
Suede is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance.
What is the main color of these trainers?
The main color is cream, with secondary grey accents.
What kind of outfits do these trainers pair well with?
Their retro design makes them versatile for casual outfits, pairing well with jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual trousers.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to lift dirt. For stains, try a dedicated suede cleaner or a pencil eraser for small marks, following product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry completely.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in gradually. Wearing them with appropriate socks can also help prevent blisters during the break-in period.
Laces are worn or dirty
Clean laces by hand with mild soap and water, or replace them with new laces if they are too damaged.
Color transfer onto socks or skin
This can sometimes occur with dyed materials. It may reduce with wear, or a light spray of color sealant specifically for suede can be applied (test first).
