Care Instructions: Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your SL72 OG sneakers, especially given their textile and suede components.
Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede and textile protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
Cleaning the Textile Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) and warm water. Gently scrub the textile areas in small circles. Avoid oversaturating.
Cleaning Suede Overlays: For suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar on a clean cloth can be dabbed (not rubbed vigorously). Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. A small brush can help clean crevices in the outsole.
Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials like suede and glue. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your SL72 OG sneakers, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure.
