Visible dirt on suede sections
Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift dirt away in one direction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sneakers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt from the suede overlays. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the premium materials.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a damp cloth with a very mild soap solution, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing.
- Drying: Always air-dry at room temperature. Keep the sneakers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or stiffening.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree if possible to help the silhouette maintain its shape over time.
