To maintain the quality and appearance of your 991v2:
Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner, applying sparingly with a clean cloth. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
Cleaning Mesh & Synthetic: Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage materials.
Drying: Always air dry your sneakers. Do not machine wash or put in a dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation and discoloration.
Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede and mixed materials to help protect against elements.
