Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Initiator trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. Since they feature a mesh upper, avoid submerging the shoes in a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam and structural bonds. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried dirt from the sole and upper. For deeper cleaning, wipe the mesh with a mild soap and water solution and allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight or high-heat sources, which can warp the materials. Compatibility with athletic socks is recommended to optimize moisture-wicking and prevent internal wear.
