Care Instructions for Leather:
Proper care for your leather ASICS GEL-NYC Trainers will extend their lifespan and maintain their appearance.
Wipe Clean Regularly: Use a soft, damp cloth (not wet) to gently wipe away dirt, dust, and light stains from the leather surface after each use.
Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months (or as needed) to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and minimize cracking. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Water Protection: Consider using a leather-specific water and stain protector spray to guard against elements. Reapply periodically.
Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
