Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and extend the life of your leather and suede Killshot 2 sneakers:
Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe off any loose dirt with a soft, dry brush or cloth.
Spot Cleaning: For light dirt on leather, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner and follow product instructions.
Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede before the first wear and periodically thereafter.
Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner to the leather sections every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid applying conditioner to the suede.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
Avoid Excessive Moisture: Suede is particularly sensitive to water. If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally; do not use direct heat.
