To maintain the unique aesthetic and durability of your Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Sashiko, follow these care guidelines:
General Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush (like a shoe brush or old toothbrush) before applying any cleaning solution.
Leather Sections: For the medium brown and orange leather overlays, wipe gently with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild leather cleaner applied to a cloth, then wipe off any residue. Condition periodically to prevent drying and cracking.
Suede Eyestays: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently rub off dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid getting suede excessively wet.
Twill and Mesh Areas: Spot clean these areas with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Gently rub in a circular motion, then blot dry with a clean towel. Do not saturate the fabric.
Sashiko Stitching: Exercise extra caution around the Sashiko stitching on the collar. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damaging the decorative threads.
Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or brush to remove dirt and debris.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
