The New Balance 991v2 is designed for immediate wear with no complex setup required. Simply lace them up to your desired tightness. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual clothing, complementing denim, chinos, shorts, and even some tailored trousers. For optimal care of your 991v2s, especially with their suede and mesh components, follow these guidelines:
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: For daily dirt, use a soft-bristled brush or a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dust and loose debris. For mesh areas, a soft, damp cloth can be used.
- Spot Cleaning Suede: For stubborn stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid saturating the suede with water.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage suede.
- Reflective Details: To maintain the integrity and reflectivity, gently wipe these areas with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation.
