Proper care will help maintain the look and longevity of your SL 72 OG W Sneakers:
General Cleaning: For the nylon sections and rubber outsole, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Suede Overlays: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid getting suede excessively wet, as this can cause discoloration or stiffening.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as these can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
