How do I clean the LEGO-inspired studs?

What does the dual branding refer to?
The dual branding refers to the logos of both adidas and LEGO appearing together, specifically on the yellow sockliner inside the shoe.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially. If still tight after a few wears, consider using a shoe stretcher or breaking them in with thicker socks around the house.
Dirt trapped in studs
Use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently dislodge dirt from the textured areas. Follow with a damp cloth.
Yellowing of the white material
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean regularly with appropriate methods. For minor yellowing, a specialized shoe cleaner might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The herringbone pattern offers grip, but very smooth or wet surfaces may still pose a risk. Consider a light scuffing of the sole on rougher surfaces if significant slippage occurs.
