Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
To use your Nike Guard Lock Sleeves, simply slide them onto your lower leg *before* inserting your slip-in shin guards. Position the sleeve so it covers the area where your shin guard will sit. Once the sleeve is in place, insert your preferred slip-in shin guard underneath the sleeve, adjusting until it feels secure and comfortable. The sleeve's elastic nature and inner grip will then hold the shin guard firmly against your leg. Finally, pull your soccer socks up over both the sleeve and the shin guard.
Compatibility
These sleeves are specifically engineered to provide an optimal fit and security with Nike slip-in shin protectors. However, their flexible and stretchy design generally makes them compatible with most standard slip-in shin guards from various brands, offering improved retention for a wide range of products.
Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Nike Guard Lock Sleeves:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the elastic fibers and the internal grip material.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
Always check the care label on your specific sleeves for any additional instructions. Proper care helps maintain the sleeves' elasticity, sweat-wicking properties, and and grip.
