Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers:
Cleaning Uppers (Mesh & Suede):
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., a suede brush).
For mesh areas, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or brush. Wipe clean.
For suede areas, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Avoid excessive water, as it can stain suede.
Always allow trainers to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Cleaning Soles: Wipe down the diamond outsole pattern and midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.
Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can degrade materials over time.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put these trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as it can damage the materials and construction.
