To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the suede and nylon upper with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
