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.

|section-title|Celso|section-title|

|section-left|My name is Celso Diangongo, I’m 17 years old, I’m Angolan, and I currently live in Fundão, where I study Industrial Maintenance at the vocational school.

Above all, I see myself as a strategist of my own future, someone who wants to turn today’s effort into tomorrow’s freedom. I am a focused, curious, and committed young person who loves to try everything. I believe true success is not born only from talent, but from discipline, daily preparation, and the courage to start small in order to think big.

My personal brand represents vision, resilience, and young leadership. I want to be an example of how African youth can use knowledge and strategy to create impact, both in their own lives and in their communities. Taking part in the DiVERGE programme was an experience that allowed me to express exactly this: who I am and who I want to become.

I customised a pair of sneakers that reflect my values. These sneakers symbolise not just style, but strategy: every step I take is thoughtful, intentional, and oriented towards the future I want to achieve.

As a young African, I believe that every achievement of mine opens doors for others. I want to inspire, lead by example, and show that with attitude, knowledge, and purpose, anything is possible.
