Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1890 trainers maintain their structural integrity and appearance, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to protect the cow leather details.
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic areas with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. For the leather sections, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush to remove dirt.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place these shoes near a direct heat source or inside a tumble dryer, as this can cause the leather to crack and the adhesive components to weaken.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading and material degradation.
