Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are made of suede, proper care is essential. It is recommended to use a protective water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear to guard against moisture and light staining. If the shoes become dusty, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material. Avoid cleaning with harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede's finish and cause potential discoloration. For sizing, this model is a UK 11.5, which should be verified against your standard Nike athletic footwear size for the best fit.
