MATERIALS & CARE

Air-dry away from direct heat after wet runs - never tumble dry. Spot-clean uppers with a soft brush and mild soap; do not machine-wash, as it breaks down midsole foam and adhesives. Remove the sockliner between wet runs to let both layers dry. Rotate between two pairs where possible - supercritical EVA and PEBA midsoles recover loft with 24 hours of rest. Do not bleach or dry-clean. Store at room temperature away from prolonged UV exposure, which hardens foam.
