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.

I am Afonso, I am 19 years old and I am driven by creation, attitude and the desire to go further. I enjoy riding my motorbike and spending time with friends. I come from communication and marketing, but what truly defines me is the way I think and act.

I like challenges, building projects from scratch and leaving a mark on everything I do. I am inspired by movement, aesthetics, urban environments and everything that conveys confidence and personality. I am creative, persistent and focused — when I believe in an idea, I see it through to the end. 

My personal brand lies in vision, energy and authenticity. I do not follow obvious paths or imposed styles. My sneakers represent that: freedom, identity and action. Every step reflects who I am — someone who does not stand still, does not go unnoticed and is always evolving, even with neutral sneakers.|section-left||section-right||section-right|
