The Nike P-6000 is designed for men seeking a blend of retro running aesthetics and all-day comfort for casual wear.

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your P-6000s:
General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently brush off loose debris with a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush).
Mesh Areas: Mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) with warm water. Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe the mesh. Avoid saturating the material.
Leather/Synthetic Overlays: Use a separate damp cloth with the mild soap solution to wipe down the leather and synthetic surfaces. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner designed for sneakers can be used, following the product's instructions.
Outsoles: Use a brush and soapy water to clean the rubber outsoles, scrubbing away dirt and grime.
Rinsing: Wipe down all cleaned areas with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not put them in a dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Using shoe deodorizers or stuffing shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and odors.
Do Not: Machine wash, use harsh chemicals, or submerge your shoes in water.
