How do I protect the black suede?
Use a high-quality, suede-safe protective spray to create a barrier against dirt and moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 302 sneakers last as long as possible, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Given the suede material, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first use. If the shoes become dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris. For deeper cleaning, avoid submerging them in water; instead, use a specialized suede cleaning solution applied sparingly with a brush. To maintain the shape of the footwear, consider using shoe trees when not in use.
