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 Lara Cabral, and I deeply value the well-being of my family and friends. I consider myself a courageous person who handles daily challenges well, even though I can sometimes be distrustful and stressed. I am aware that I still need to improve the way I communicate, and I am constantly working on becoming a better version of myself.

My dream is to become a dancer or a fashion designer — careers that allow me to explore my creativity and personal expression. More than achieving personal goals, I want to reach places that others from my community have not had the opportunity to reach and make the people who support me proud.

I chose my sneakers because they reflect my style: simple, comfortable, and easy-to-style. They help me feel confident every day. My experience at iMAGINE was very positive, as it helped me reflect on my future, recognise my potential, and feel more motivated and supported in pursuing my goals.|section-left||section-right||section-right|
