Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Use
Your Clean 90 sneakers arrive ready to wear. Before the first use, you may wish to apply a high-quality leather protector spray suitable for smooth leather to help repel water and stains. Ensure the product is specifically designed for premium leather and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Compatibility (Styling)
These sneakers are incredibly versatile:
- Smart Casual: Pair with chinos, tailored trousers, or dark wash jeans and a collared shirt or blazer.
- Everyday Chic: Excellent with slim-fit jeans, a t-shirt, and a lightweight jacket.
- Minimalist: Complements neutral palettes and streamlined silhouettes.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will significantly extend the life and appearance of your premium leather sneakers:
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner. Apply gently in circular motions, then wipe off with a clean, damp cloth. Always follow the cleaner's instructions.
- Conditioning: Every few weeks or months (depending on wear), apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is crucial for LWG-certified leather.
- Protection: Reapply a leather protector spray periodically, especially after cleaning.
- Laces: Remove and hand-wash the flat cotton laces separately if they become dirty.
- Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in the branded dustbag provided to protect them from dust and light. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
