Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care is essential to maintain the premium look and longevity of your Air Jordan x Awake NY Air Ship sneakers, especially given their leather and snakeskin components.
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe the 'Sail' leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush, then wipe clean. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Caring for Snakeskin Accents: The 'Game Royal' snakeskin requires delicate handling. Use a very soft, dry brush to remove dust and dirt. Avoid harsh rubbing or excessive moisture, which can damage the scales. If absolutely necessary, a slightly damp cloth can be used very gently, wiping in the direction of the scales.
- Sole Cleaning: The aged sole unit can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
- Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can cause leather to crack or snakeskin to warp.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use. Consider storing them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust.
