Care
Proper care extends the life and maintains the appearance of your ASICS GEL-NYC sneakers:
- Cleaning:
- General Dirt: Gently brush off loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush.
- Mesh Areas: Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Gently dab and wipe the mesh. Avoid scrubbing aggressively.
- Suede Areas: For dirt or stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and a suede brush, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators. Do not use a machine dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge the sneakers in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
