Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Air Max 1s, especially with their mixed material upper:
Initial Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mixed materials before the first wear. Always test in an inconspicuous area.
Regular Cleaning:
Remove Loose Dirt: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove any dry dirt or dust from the upper and outsole.
Spot Clean: For specific stains, use a mild shoe cleaner solution designed for leather and textiles. Apply to a clean cloth or soft brush, gently rub the stained area, then wipe with a damp cloth.
Leather Areas: Use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically for genuine leather.
Textile/Synthetic Areas: A gentle soap solution (diluted dish soap) and a soft brush can work, followed by wiping clean.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your sneakers, as this can damage materials, adhesives, and cushioning.
