Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your SL 72 OG sneakers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the textile and leather mix upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a sneaker cleaner specifically formulated for a mix of materials. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials.
- Sole Care: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris, maintaining its grip.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the shoe's structure and materials.
