How should I store these sneakers to preserve their condition?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag is recommended for long-term storage.

Troubleshooting

Slight creasing on leather

Minor creasing is normal with leather footwear, especially with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-flexing the shoe.

Color transfer from Electric Green laces

If the Electric Green laces appear to be transferring color, especially to the Bright Crimson upper, consider replacing them with white or black laces, or using laces made from a different material. Ensure laces are dry when worn.

Traction feels less effective on dusty courts

The outsole grip may vary depending on court conditions. Regularly wipe the outsole with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust and debris for optimal traction.
