By blending a breathable mesh upper with high-quality genuine leather overlays and a responsive foam midsole, these trainers provide reliable all-day comfort for casual outings.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by retro runners, the V5 RNR is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than long-distance athletic training.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
These trainers follow standard adult sizing. If you have wider feet, you may find the leather overlays feel snug, so consider sizing up by a half-size if you prefer a looser fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the leather material and weaken the structural adhesives. Use hand-cleaning methods instead.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is a combination of breathable synthetic mesh and high-quality genuine leather overlays.
Does the snake pattern fade?
When cared for properly, the pattern is quite durable. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents to keep the design vibrant.
Is the sole slip-resistant?
The rubber outsole features grooves inspired by '00s runners that provide excellent grip on typical urban surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface appearing dull or dirty
Wipe with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. For the snake-patterned sections, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust from the grooves.
Foam midsole feels stiff
This is common in new trainers. Wear them for short walks over several days to allow the foam to compress and mold to your stride.
Creasing on the leather overlays
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape and reduce deep creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature genuine leather with a specific snake-skin texture, they require intentional maintenance to look their best. To clean, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water, avoiding abrasive brushes that could damage the pattern. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or the glue to degrade. For compatibility, the V5 RNR fits standard adult sizing; however, since these are constructed with leather overlays, they may feel slightly snug initially and will likely break in to fit the unique shape of your foot after a few days of wear. Keep them in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the foam midsole.
