Gently trim any loose threads with small scissors. For significant fraying, consult a professional sneaker restorer.
Denim appearing faded
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth rather than overwetting.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt from the denim and stitching. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the fabric or embroidery.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: A damp cloth or a specialized sneaker cleaning solution can be used for the rubber components. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be effective, but use with caution.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight, which can fade the colors. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
