Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the 990v3 utilizes delicate pigskin suede, proper care is essential. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust regularly. Avoid exposure to harsh weather conditions, as moisture can stain the suede. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources. When styling, they pair best with denim or neutral chinos due to their deep navy color profile. Always ensure the lacing is adjusted to your preference to maintain the proper support the ENCAP midsole is designed to offer.
