Although the quality is top notch and done with care for long lasting –this does not mean the shoes cannot be destroyed if not handled with care. The shoes are not factory, but custom so depending on continuous wear (daily use) and activities in which the shoes are worn you can experience some creasing at some point (common with many styles of Nikes even original ones not custom). Creasing of any
kind can also lead to some cracking of paint. It’s highly suggested that custom shoes are used for casual wearing and not harsh play or activities. Shoes are waterproofed and sealed, however all protectants after so many cleanings or wipe offs can experience being less resistant to blemishes. We highly recommend you use protectants on all shoes (canvas or leather as you would if they were not custom). Final Reminder: Although shoes are topped off with the finest of top coats and finishers….as with even normal factory sneakers finish, shape, and quality of the shoes can be affected as some point due to wear and tear. For any shoes needing to be cleaned we highly suggest no use of any harsh chemicals that can strip the finish and gentle light soapy cleanings should be fine. If you select to customize a shoe with a custom painted sole (soles are not porous) and are not guaranteed to not become scratched etc... we recommend splatter over painted for this reason however we will custom your order as requested and provide a touch up paint for your use…. There is no guaranteed on any soles painted to not peel crack or even disappear with wear. Shoes damaged due to poor care will not be repaired or replaced for free…However, If you need assist or have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out we will definitely assist if possible………and may be able to assist with correcting damages if minimal for a small fee.
