Initial Setup

- Casual wear: Jeans, chinos, shorts, track pants.
- Streetwear: Hoodies, t-shirts, casual jackets.
- Athleisure: For a sporty yet relaxed look.
Care Instructions for Suede
Maintaining your Samba Suede Trainers is crucial to preserve their look and longevity.
- Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Repeat periodically.
- Cleaning:
- Dry Dirt: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction.
- Stains: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry away from direct heat.
- Maintenance:
- Brushing: Regularly brush your trainers with a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
