Care & Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the premium look and longevity of your sneakers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: For the sail leather, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Caring for Snakeskin Texture: The blue snakeskin textured areas should be cleaned very gently. Use a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth to wipe them clean, avoiding harsh scrubbing which could damage the texture.
- Metallic Swooshes: To maintain the metallic platinum finish, avoid abrasive cleaners. A soft, damp cloth can be used to wipe away dust or smudges.
- Midsole & Outsole: The `pre-aged midsole` is designed to have a vintage look. Clean the midsole and gum rubber outsole with a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and water to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or abrasive solvents, as these can damage the leather, colors, and textures.
- Water Exposure: While durable, the `leather` material is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submerging the shoes in water. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
