How to Maintain Your Premium Leather Sneakers:
The Complete Guide by Rallyeon
At Rallyeon, we believe that a passion for sneaker culture meets the standards of luxury. Investing in a pair with refined materials and exceptional craftsmanship is a commitment. To ensure your sneakers keep their original glow and superior quality, regular maintenance is essential.
Here are our expert tips for taking care of your rarest pieces.
1. Prevention: Protect Before You Wear
From the moment they leave the box, your sneakers deserve special attention.
-
Weatherproofing: Use a high-quality protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. This preserves the leather’s natural texture.
-
Shoe Trees: To prevent leather creasing, place cedar wood shoe trees inside after each use. They absorb moisture and maintain the original shape.
2. Regular Cleaning: Gentleness and Precision
Premium leather cannot handle aggression. Forget the washing machine—it destroys fibers and adhesives.
-
Dry Brushing: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust.
-
Targeted Cleaning: Use a specialized cleaning solution with a microfiber cloth. Gently rub in circular motions.
-
The Details: For soles and edges, a stiffer brush can be used to dislodge stubborn dirt.
3. Hydrate to Last
Like skin, high-quality leather needs nourishment to prevent cracking.
-
Conditioning: Apply a leather balm or conditioner once a month. This restores flexibility and enhances colors, like the vibrant yellow on the Jordan 12 University Gold.
4. Storage: A Controlled Environment
-
Avoid Sunlight: UV rays fade materials. Store your pairs in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
-
The Original Box: Keeping your sneakers in their box with acid-free tissue paper helps limit oxidation.
