Care instructions for (leather) Custom Painted sneakers:

Avoid excessive wear: While it’s tempting to wear your custom-painted sneakers every day, consider using them for special occasions or events to reduce wear and tear.

Handle with care: Treat your sneakers gently, avoiding sharp objects or surfaces that could scratch or damage the paint.

Keep them dry: Avoid wearing your custom-painted sneakers in wet or rainy conditions, as water can damage both the leather and the paint. If they do get wet, pat them dry with a clean cloth and let them air dry at room temperature.

Store properly: When not in use, store your custom-painted sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Consider using shoe bags or boxes to protect them from dust and debris.

Clean with care: If your sneakers get dirty, gently clean them using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or cleaners that may damage the paint or leather. For tougher stains, consider using a leather-specific cleaner, but test it in an inconspicuous area first.

Avoid submerging: Never submerge your custom-painted sneakers in water or put them in the washing machine. The paint and leather can suffer irreparable damage.

Protect the paint: Consider applying a clear, matte finish spray or leather protector over the painted areas to help protect the artwork from scratches and scuffs. Test the spray on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it won’t damage the paint.

Avoid direct heat: Keep your sneakers away from direct heat sources, such as heaters or radiators, as high temperatures can cause the paint to crack or fade.

Use leather conditioner: To keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out, apply a leather conditioner regularly. Make sure to choose a conditioner suitable for the type of leather used in your sneakers.

Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals: Keep your custom-painted sneakers away from substances like bleach, alcohol, or acetone, as they can damage the paint and leather.

By following these care instructions, you can help preserve the quality and appearance of your custom-painted Nike leather sneakers for a longer period. Regular maintenance and gentle handling are the keys to keeping them looking fresh and vibrant.
