Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede Killshot 2 sneakers:
Initial Protection: Consider applying a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray before the first wear. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
Regular Cleaning:
Brush Off Dirt: Use a soft-bristled suede brush (or a clean toothbrush) to gently brush off loose dirt and dust from the suede upper. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
Erase Stains: For minor scuffs or dry marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the blemish.
Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Apply sparingly and blot, do not rub aggressively.
Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid wearing your shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry away from direct heat.
Air Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally. Never use direct heat sources like heaters or hairdryers, as this can damage the suede.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
