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.

Hello, I’m Iara, and I’m 15 years old. I consider myself a caring girl who enjoys listening to others and is always willing to help.

One of my greatest strengths is resilience, as I never give up on what I want to achieve. I’m still working on overcoming my fear of making mistakes, but I’m determined to face that challenge. 

Since I was little, I’ve been passionate about the world of art, and my biggest dream is to become a fashion designer.

I chose the “Meteor ’88” model because it’s simple and elegant; as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to work on it. I went with off-white, burgundy, and grey because they’re uncommon shades to see together, and I believe that, just like people, colours also deserve to be valued.

Customising these sneakers was a great experience, as it allowed me to learn and discover new things.|section-left||section-right||section-right|
