Care & Maintenance Tips
Proper care is essential to preserve the premium materials and unique design of your Air Jordan x Awake NY Air Ship sneakers. Follow these guidelines to keep them looking their best:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality leather protector spray specifically designed for sneakers. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather upper and Swoosh with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather):
- Mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap or a dedicated sneaker cleaner) with lukewarm water.
- Dip a soft brush or microfibre cloth into the solution, wring out excess water, and gently scrub the leather in small circular motions.
- Wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Allow to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Snakeskin Ankle Collars: The Royal Blue snakeskin-textured material requires delicate care. Use a soft, barely damp cloth to gently wipe the surface in the direction of the scales. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a dedicated sole cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water with a stiff brush to clean the rubber outsole and midsole.
- Crease Prevention: Use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help maintain their shape and minimize creasing, especially in the toe box area.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation. The original box or a breathable shoe bag is ideal.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never put your leather sneakers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
