- Color Coordination: The black upper with a red Swoosh makes them versatile, matching well with neutral tones (black, white, grey) and providing a bold accent with reds or other primary colors.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your leather trainers:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to protect against spills and light rain.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away surface dirt and dust after each wear.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather Upper):
- Mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) with warm water.
- Dampen a soft cloth with the soapy water and gently wipe down the leather sections. Avoid oversaturating.
- Wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a dedicated shoe cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water with an old toothbrush to scrub the synthetic sole, removing grime and scuff marks.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking. Follow the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid crushing or folding them.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never put leather trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the materials and adhesives.
