Care Instructions
Proper care will significantly extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Killshot 2 sneakers, particularly due to their premium suede and leather materials.
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and leather before the first wear. This creates a protective barrier against moisture and dirt.
- General Cleaning (Suede):
- Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. Brush in one direction.
- For tougher marks or scuffs, use a suede eraser to rub away the stain.
- If wet, allow suede to air dry naturally away from direct heat, then brush gently.
- Avoid excessive water on suede.
- General Cleaning (Leather):
- Wipe down leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner and follow product instructions.
- Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Sole Cleaning (Gum Rubber):
- Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mixture of mild soap and warm water.
- Gently scrub the gum sole to remove dirt and grime. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- For stubborn marks, a specialized sneaker sole cleaner can be effective.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
