How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

The Air Max 1, first released in 1987, was inspired by the Pompidou Centre in Paris, featuring exposed air cushioning technology and a deconstructed design approach.

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Refer to Nike's official sizing chart and measure your foot. Consider trying them on in-store if possible, as fits can vary. If ordering online, check the return policy.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Midsole has scuffs or discoloration
Gently clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used with caution, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive rubbing.
Creasing on the upper
Creasing is natural with leather and suede footwear. To minimize the appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.
