FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, suede material is not waterproof. It is highly susceptible to water damage. We strongly recommend applying a suede protector spray and avoiding wet conditions.
How often should I clean my suede trainers?
Light brushing should be done after every few wears to maintain the nap. Spot clean stains as they occur. A more thorough cleaning with specialized products should only be done when necessary, to avoid over-saturating the material.
Can I wear these trainers for sports activities?
These Jordan 40 trainers are designed for casual and lifestyle wear, not for athletic sports. The suede material is not built to withstand the demands of intense physical activity.
What is the best way to protect the blue colour from fading?
Use a high-quality suede protector spray, preferably one with UV protection. Store your trainers away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
What if my trainers get stained with oil or grease?
Oil and grease stains on suede are very difficult to remove. Immediately blot excess liquid with a clean cloth, then apply a specialized suede stain remover or consult a professional shoe cleaner. Avoid rubbing the stain deeper into the material.
How do I ensure the trainers keep their shape during storage?
Insert shoe trees (preferably cedar wood to absorb moisture and odor) or stuff the trainers with acid-free tissue paper when not in use. Store them in a dust bag or their original box in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears flat or matted down
Use a suede brush with rubber bristles to gently brush the nap in one direction, lifting the fibers and restoring the texture.
Visible dirt or light scuffs on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub the affected area. For deeper dirt, a gentle suede cleaning solution can be applied sparingly with a clean cloth.
Water marks or stains on the suede
If immediately wet, gently blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For dried water marks, a suede eraser or a light application of suede cleaner might help, but complete removal can be challenging.
Colour fading over time
While some natural fading may occur, consistent use of a UV-protective suede spray and avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can help preserve the colour. Professional suede dyeing services might be an option for severe fading.
Trainers feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If new, trainers often need a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.

Care & Maintenance
Suede requires specific and consistent care to maintain its appearance and longevity. Neglecting proper care can lead to irreversible damage.
Immediate Actions Upon Purchase:
- Apply a Suede Protector Spray: Before first wear, thoroughly spray the trainers with a high-quality suede and nubuck protector. Allow them to dry naturally for several hours, away from direct heat or sunlight. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
Regular Cleaning & Maintenance:
- Daily Brushing: Use a dedicated suede brush (often with rubber bristles) to gently remove dust, dirt, and restore the nap of the suede after each wear. Brush in one direction.
- Spot Cleaning: For small marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the stain. Be careful not to apply too much pressure.
- Deep Cleaning (Rarely): For more significant stains, use a specialized suede cleaner foam or solution, following the product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Never use a hairdryer or place near a radiator.
Storage:
- Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust.
