- Attire: Highly versatile; compatible with athletic wear, casual outfits, jeans, shorts, and certain smart-casual ensembles.
Care Instructions
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your shoes:
- General Cleaning: For superficial dirt, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for sneakers.
- Cleaning Flyknit: Gently scrub the Flyknit upper with a soft brush (like a toothbrush) using a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning Nubuck: Use a specialized nubuck brush or eraser to remove dry dirt and scuffs. For stains, a dedicated nubuck cleaner applied sparingly on a clean cloth may be used. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight, hairdryers) as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and discoloration. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can severely damage the delicate Flyknit, nubuck, and the shoe's structural integrity.
