Regular Cleaning:

Leather Overlays: Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
Outsole: Use a stiff brush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.

Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
