Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the premium materials and unique design of your sneakers.
- General Cleaning: For the leather upper and gum rubber sole, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the materials or alter the pre-aged midsole finish.
- Snakeskin Texture: The blue snakeskin textures around the collar require delicate handling. Gently wipe them with a soft, *dry* cloth to remove dust. Avoid scrubbing or using wet cleaners directly on this textured area to prevent damage.
- Perforated Toe Box: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clean the perforated toe box, ensuring no debris accumulates in the perforations.
- Pre-aged Midsole: The pre-aged midsole is intentionally designed with a vintage look. Clean gently to avoid removing this intentional finish. A soft cloth with mild soap and water can be used carefully, if needed.
- Protection: Consider applying a high-quality leather and sneaker protector spray suitable for various materials (including leather and textured fabrics) to guard against water and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing, especially in the leather upper.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or tumble dry your sneakers, as this can severely damage the leather, textures, and adhesives.
