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 Andreia Lopes Oliveira, I’m 19 years old, and I’m a friendly and smiley person. I joined Fundação O Século in 2012, where I lived for 13 years. I’m of Cape Verdean descent and I have Portuguese nationality.

I practiced athletics from the age of 13 to 19, and I was once a national relay champion. In my free time, I really enjoy watching movies, studying, gaming, and spending time with my friends.

I chose my sneakers because I love black and white, they’re colours I wear a lot in my daily life. I had an amazing experience at Diverge. I really enjoyed it and took part in several activities, such as the commitment letter, talking about our superpowers, areas for improvement, and many other dynamics. It was truly an incredible experience.|section-left||section-right|
