Care: 

Plain Leather: Apply a thin layer of leather balm and once it’s dry, gently brush to keep the finish of the leather always in good conditions. Opt for softer hog bristles to make sure you don’t damage your sneakers. A leather protector spray is also an option to consider.

Suede: Use a brush to gently remove any dirt or dust. Brush in the direction of the fabric’s grain to avoid damaging it. Dry stains can be removed by using a white or brown gum eraser. If it doesn't work we advise you to visit your local cobbler and get additional advice.

Nubuck: Nubuck cloths are the best option to remove dirt and shiny spots. Wipe in several directions using circular motions and make sure you cover the entire nap area.

Rubber Soles: Clean the dirt with a dampened cloth and carefully soak the sole in a mixture of water and dishwashing soap. Make sure you don’t soak the upper part! Use a toothbrush with the mixture to scrub your soles. Once it’s done, dry the sneakers using a cloth.

My name is Maria Raimundo, I'm 18 years old and I see myself as a calm, curious, fun and persistent person.

Sport is one of the biggest parts of my life, especially team sports such as futsal. In my free time, I also enjoy listening to music and staying active.

I believe persistence makes all the difference. When I truly want to achieve something, I give it my best and don't give up easily, even when things become challenging.

My sneakers have a simple design with soft colours because they reflect my preference for a light and understated style.|section-left||section-right|
