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 Kauan Rafael, I am 18 years old and I live in Bicesse. I am a bit shy, open-minded, and I believe that every person is unique in their own way.

I enjoy music, and my musical style is gospel, which makes me feel good. I also like spending time with my friends from church.

I consider myself a calm and dreamy young person, but when I believe in something, I give my best. I like challenges and improving every day.

What sets me apart is my authenticity. I don’t like following trends just for the sake of it; I prefer to choose what truly makes sense to me.

My sneakers represent freedom, attitude and confidence. They show that I like comfort, but also style and peace. The colours and design reflect movement, peace and the way I see the world.

The interaction we had was very interesting; the activities were creative and fun, and I gained new knowledge.|section-left||section-right||section-right|
