Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully, then brush to restore the nap.
Yellow accents show scuffs
Attempt to clean gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For persistent marks, a magic eraser can be used with extreme caution on non-suede areas.
Gum sole appears discolored
Try cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. For yellowing, a solution of baking soda and water, or a specialized sole cleaner, might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoe shape is lost
Use shoe trees or stuff the shoes with paper when not in use to help maintain their original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to remove dry dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by brushing to restore the nap. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can cause discoloration or damage.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the midsole and gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for stubborn dirt, but ensure it is rinsed off thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing.
- Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Consider using a dust bag or original box to protect them.
