Care
Cleaning: Remove any loose dirt or mud with a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well). Mix a small amount of mild detergent (like dish soap) with warm water. Use a soft cloth or sponge dipped in the solution to gently clean the mesh upper, synthetic overlays, and midsole. For the outsole, you can use a stiffer brush to remove grime. Avoid submerging the entire shoe.
Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators, hair dryers, or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb excess moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
Storage: Store your Nike Downshifter 13 shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp or humid environments.
