The Vans Knu Skool "Navy True White" shoes are designed for individuals seeking a distinct retro aesthetic inspired by 90s skater footwear. Their key win is the combination of voluminous, plush blue suede uppers with a padded interior, offering both unique style and enhanced comfort.

Suede Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the surface in one direction to restore the nap. For stains, use a suede cleaner product, following the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially if you plan to wear them in unpredictable weather.
Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper (like newspaper) to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage suede.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
