Troubleshooting
Swoosh patches are difficult to attach/detach.
Ensure the attachment points on the shoe and the patch are clean and dry. Apply gentle, steady pressure. Avoid forceful pulling, which could damage the materials.
Canvas material looks dirty after minimal wear.
Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent dirt, follow the care instructions for canvas cleaning. Consider applying a fabric protector spray designed for canvas footwear.
Color transfer from patches to shoe.
This is rare but can occur if patches are damp. Ensure both the shoe and patches are completely dry before attaching. If minor transfer occurs, try gentle cleaning as per care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. The primary 'setup' involves personalizing the shoe with the included removable Swoosh patches. Simply detach the existing Swoosh and attach your preferred color.
Compatibility: This product is a piece of footwear and is compatible with standard adult foot sizes.
Care:
- Cleaning the Canvas: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth, being careful not to saturate the canvas. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Soles: Use a specialized shoe cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the rubber soles.
- Patch Care: Remove Swoosh patches before deep cleaning the shoe. Clean patches gently by hand if needed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect from dust and light. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade the colors.
