Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans BAPE collaboration lasts, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Since the shoes feature a distinct printed camouflage, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that might strip the ink or patterns. Instead, spot clean with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber foxing from warping. The shoes are compatible with standard flat laces and are best worn with low-profile socks to maintain the clean silhouette of the Authentic model. Storage in a cool, dry place will prevent potential yellowing of the white rubber midsole over time.
