Care Instructions:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Nike Zoom Kobe 4 Protro 'Girl Dad' trainers, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Suede Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously. Avoid soaking the suede.
  2. Lining and Inserts: The interior lining can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth. The insoles can be removed for airing out or spot cleaning if necessary.
  3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the suede and other materials.
  4. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape during the drying process. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers.
  5. Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help preserve their shape. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag is recommended.
