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 Beatriz, I’m 17 years old and I’m Portuguese. I have always valued respect and empathy, qualities I consider to be two of my greatest strengths. I’m sensitive to what others feel and, many times, that makes it hard for me to say “no”. I often end up putting other people’s needs before my own, forgetting to take care of myself. But I’ve been working on that with dedication and a real desire to grow. My biggest dream is to work independently, build my own family, and give my children a better life than the one I had.

Through the DiVERGE programme, I had the opportunity to reflect on who I am and the path I want to follow. I learned more about the world of business and the importance of expressing ourselves with confidence. It was an enriching experience that I will carry with me into the future.

The sneaker model I customised represents exactly that: simplicity, versatility, and authenticity. I chose black and red because they are colours that reflect my style and personality: strong, direct, and full of intention. For me, these trainers are not just an accessory. They are a choice. A way of showing who I am and who I want to become.|section-left|
