Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Upon first wear, adjust the laces evenly from the bottom eyelets up to the top. Ensure a snug fit that's comfortable, not too tight, to allow for natural foot movement. The high-top design may require you to unlace a few top eyelets for easier entry and exit.
Compatibility

- Shorts: Great for a comfortable and stylish summer look.
- Leggings & Athleisure: Elevates athletic wear for street-ready fashion.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care extends the life and appearance of your trainers:
- Spot Cleaning (Canvas): For minor dirt or scuffs on the canvas, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently rub the affected area, then blot with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole & Toe-Cap: Use a damp cloth or a magic eraser with a little mild detergent to wipe down the rubber platform and toe-cap. This helps remove scuffs and keep them looking fresh.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Deep Cleaning (Infrequent): For a more thorough clean, you can hand wash them using cold water and a gentle brush. Remove laces and insoles if possible. Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation. Keep them upright to maintain their shape.
Important Considerations
- Water Exposure: While durable, the canvas upper is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles to prevent staining and water damage.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong detergents as they can damage the canvas color and rubber materials.
