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 Fredisney, but most people know me as Freddy. I’m African, born in São Tomé and Príncipe, and I’m 17 years old. I’ve been in Portugal for a year and I currently live with my parents in Fundão.

I value my simple way of being, especially in everyday situations. One of my strengths is the respect I show others and my instinct to protect the people around me. I recognise that I need to improve my anger management as well as my performance at school.

I dream of becoming a football player — not necessarily professional, but in a way that allows me to fulfil that wish and feel accomplished. I chose this model of sneakers because it caught my attention and matches the colours I like to wear: black and red, tones that are part of my personal style.|section-left||section-right| A woman wearing DiVERGE sneakers, promoting social impact and custom shoes through the imagine project. |section-right|
