Initial Setup

- Activities: Best suited for daily wear, urban exploration, casual social events, and light walking. Not designed for strenuous athletic training or specific sports requiring specialized footwear.
Product Care & Maintenance
To ensure your Nike Field General SE sneakers remain in excellent condition, follow these care guidelines, especially for the leather components:
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather and outsole with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): For more stubborn marks on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Outsole Cleaning: Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) with mild soap and water to clean the waffle outsole and gum rubber, removing any trapped dirt or debris to maintain grip.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage leather and adhesives. Do NOT use a machine dryer.
- Conditioning (Leather): Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and to prevent cracking. This is particularly important for white leather to prevent dullness.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or acid-free paper inside to help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather footwear to offer an extra layer of protection against elements and spills.
