What does the 'QS' in the name stand for?

Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather products before your first wear.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to maintain shape and prevent deep creases from setting in.
Scuff marks on the red leather
Gently use a leather-safe cleaner or a matching red cream polish to buff out minor surface scuffs.
Laces becoming loose during the day
Ensure the mid-top strap is adjusted properly to secure the tongue and prevent shifting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Air Force 1s, keep the leather clean by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the pigment from the red leather. For storage, use shoe trees to maintain the shape of the mid-top structure and keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color bleaching. When pairing, these shoes work exceptionally well with neutral-toned denim or casual chinos that allow the striking red color to become the focal point of your look.
