Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
Cleaning:
For general dirt and mud, allow it to dry first.
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush.
Use a damp cloth (with lukewarm water) and a mild soap (like dish soap) to clean synthetic uppers and the outsole.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
For the 'Vanilla Ice' colorway, prompt cleaning of stains is recommended to prevent permanent discoloration.
Drying:
Air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) which can cause material degradation.
Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material breakdown and fading.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the OrthoLite® sockliner and allow both the sockliner and trainers to air out. Odor-absorbing inserts can also be used.
