Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 990v4s remain in optimal condition, treat the suede before the first wear with a quality water-repellent spray. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or mud, as water and soil can permanently alter the texture of the suede. If they do get dirty, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface debris. Always store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. To maintain the shape of the trainers when not in use, consider using a wooden or plastic shoe tree.
