Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Racer 80 trainers maintain their condition, proper care is essential. As these shoes are constructed with suede, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water repellent spray before wearing them outdoors. If they become dirty, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser to target light scuffs. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat and submersion can damage the suede texture and adhesive. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
