Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Force 1s maintain their appearance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: New leather sneakers may feel stiff initially; wear them for shorter periods during the first week to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the mesh. For the leather overlays, apply a damp cloth with mild soap, and always air-dry away from direct heat sources.
- Protection: Apply a water-and-stain repellent spray suitable for leather and synthetic fabrics to preserve the black finish.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain the structural integrity of the toe box.
