Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Air Max 1 Essential:
General Cleaning: For synthetic leather and mesh areas, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Suede Cleaning: For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
Drying: Allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the shoe's structure, materials, and cushioning.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Spot Cleaning: Address spills and stains immediately to prevent them from setting.
