Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Shadow 5000s, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before initial wear to protect the soft materials. Due to the multi-material construction—specifically the suede and nubuck—avoid soaking the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt from the suede and mesh areas. If the midsole becomes scuffed, a damp cloth with mild soap is generally sufficient for maintenance. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading.
