-
Reduces waste by extending product life

Keeps materials breathable and responsive

Maintains support features crucial for foot health

Cleaning Tips for Sustainable Materials

Spot clean with a soft cloth, mild soap, and warm water

Use a soft-bristle brush for canvas or mesh uppers
-
Avoid machine washing—this can break down adhesives and fabrics

Let shoes air dry naturally (no heat or direct sun)

Keep them performance-ready by:

Cleaning out the insoles regularly to keep them breathable

Checking the midsole for wear and rotating with other pairs to reduce breakdown

Storage Strategies for Premium Sneakers
How and where you store your sneakers can either preserve them—or age them fast.
Store smart:

Keep them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight

Use dust bags or original boxes for luxury pairs

Don’t stack—pressure can warp the shape

Add activated charcoal pouches to absorb moisture and odor
Even the best-built sneakers lose form when tossed in a closet corner. A little organization goes a long way.
