Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the fibers and remove surface dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your 2002R trainers, begin by applying a protective suede spray before the first wear. Because the shoe features delicate suede and leather overlays, avoid machine washing. For regular maintenance, use a dry brush to remove dust from the mesh and suede areas. If the midsole becomes scuffed, a damp cloth with mild soap is generally effective. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the purple and grey pigments from fading over time.
