Are these suitable for running?

Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather toe box
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; using cedar shoe trees when not wearing them can help maintain the shape.
Surface dirt on the midsole
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to gently scrub the white midsole, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 1 sneakers last, consider the following care routine:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the specialized CNY-themed finishes.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the red finish.
- Conditioning: Use a leather conditioner suitable for colored footwear to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Compatibility: These sneakers pair well with neutral-toned trousers or dark denim, allowing the vibrant red aesthetic to act as the focal point of your outfit.
