Care Instructions
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your sneakers, follow these care tips:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the Textile & Synthetic Upper, gently wipe away dirt and grime using a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Sole: The Synthetic Sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove mud and scuffs.
