Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 2002R trainers, particularly due to their suede and mesh construction.
Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede and fabric protector spray before first wear to help repel water and stains.
Regular Cleaning: For daily dirt and dust, gently brush the suede with a soft suede brush. For mesh areas, use a soft, damp cloth.
Spot Cleaning Suede: For specific stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the material.
Deep Cleaning Mesh: For more stubborn dirt on mesh, mix a small amount of mild soap with water and gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause damage or discoloration.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry your New Balance 2002R trainers.
