Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Air Jordan 40 Suede Trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply put them on and adjust the laces for a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure laces are tied snugly but not too tight to prevent discomfort or restricted blood flow.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure apparel. Their iconic design makes them a versatile addition to most wardrobes. As they are a casual trainer, they are not recommended for formal settings or heavy-duty work environments.
Care Instructions for Suede
Maintaining the premium suede material is key to preserving the look and longevity of your trainers.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per the product's instructions.
- Regular Cleaning:
- Use a suede brush (with brass bristles for tough spots and softer rubber for general cleaning) to gently brush off dirt and dust in one direction.
- For scuffs or stubborn marks, use a suede eraser to rub them away.
- Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can damage the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. Allow to air dry, then brush. For tougher stains, specialized suede cleaners can be used, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can stiffen or crack the suede.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape over time.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or washing machines, as these will severely damage the suede.
