Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Force 1s remain in top condition, follow these steps:
- Break-in Period: Leather shoes often benefit from being worn indoors for a few hours before extended outdoor use to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could damage the leather finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing over time. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-repellent leather protectant spray specifically designed for footwear to create a barrier against minor spills and dirt.
