How should I clean my suede Speedcat OG trainers?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to clean. Avoid water, and for stains, consider a professional suede cleaner. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

What does 'OG' stand for in Speedcat OG?

'OG' typically stands for 'Original', indicating that this model is a reissue or faithful reproduction of the original Speedcat design from 1999.

Do these trainers come in different colors?

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a professional cleaner specializing in suede.

Laces are worn or dirty

Replace laces with a similar style and length. Clean existing laces by handwashing with mild soap and water.

Sole feels slippery

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For older shoes, the grip may naturally diminish over time.
