Care Instructions

Maintaining the premium velvet material is key to preserving the luxurious look and feel of your trainers.

  • Cleaning Velvet: Gently brush the velvet surface with a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) to remove dust and maintain the nap. Always brush in the direction of the nap.
  • Spot Cleaning: For minor spots, use a clean, slightly damp cloth with mild soap, dabbing gently rather than rubbing. Blot dry immediately. > Info needed: [For specific stain types, consult a professional cleaner or Nike's recommended velvet footwear care guide].
  • Protection: Consider using a velvet or textile protector spray to help repel water and stains, following product instructions carefully. Ensure the spray is suitable for velvet.
  • Drying: If wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the velvet.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
