Troubleshooting
Debris stuck in the 4D midsole lattice

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Y-3 trainers remain in pristine condition, proper maintenance is essential. Because of the intricate lattice design of the 4D midsole, dust and debris can occasionally get trapped within the structure; we recommend using a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the gaps after outdoor use. Keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources to prevent material deformation. For general cleaning, wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them fully in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized adhesives and fabric treatments.
