Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because of the unique translucent construction, these sneakers are best paired with clean, stylish socks. To maintain the appearance of the light beige upper, it is recommended to spot clean the exterior with a gentle cloth and mild soapy water as needed. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water, as this may affect the structural integrity of the specialized upper and the cushioning system. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the delicate materials.
