Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are constructed with premium suede, it is essential to avoid machine washing them, as water can damage the texture and color. To maintain their appearance, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust regularly. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a light cleaning solution formulated specifically for suede. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Compatibility-wise, these trainers pair perfectly with denim, chinos, or shorts due to their versatile blue aesthetic.
