NIKE AIR MAX 95

• The Nike Air Max 95 Neon turned 25 in 2020, calling for its necessary return in original form. The Air Max 95 saw a handful of needle-moving releases, featuring collaborations with Comme des Garcons and size? alongside some other bold colorways. 2020’s retro of the Neon 95 completed the strong year for the iconic sneaker model.

  The 2020 Nike Air Max 95 retro is as OG as its 1995 debut. The original design was based on the human body, specifically the ribcage. Keeping up with the ribcage inspiration, the upper features its quintessential ripple makeup, stacking suede in a gradient pattern. Pops of neon green appear throughout from the air bubbles to the miniature Swoosh logo on the ankle. Reflective detailing is featured on the heel and tongue, making this a true OG return.

1. Regular Cleaning

• Materials Matter: Identify the materials (canvas, leather, suede, etc.) to choose the right cleaning method.
• Brush Off Dirt: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt before it sets in.
• Spot Clean: For stains, use a mild soap solution (like dish soap mixed with water) and a cloth or soft brush.

2. Deep Cleaning

• Machine Wash: If the care label allows, remove laces and insoles, and wash them in a mesh bag on a gentle cycle. Air dry only.
• Hand Wash: For delicate materials, hand wash using a soft brush and mild soap. Rinse carefully.

3. Drying

• Air Dry: Never put sneakers in the dryer. Instead, stuff them with newspaper or a clean cloth to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
• Avoid Direct Heat: Keep them away from radiators or direct sunlight, which can warp or fade materials.

4. Protection

• Waterproofing: Apply a suitable spray to protect against moisture and stains, especially for suede and leather.
• Shoe Trees: Use shoe trees to maintain shape and absorb moisture if you’re storing them for a long time.

5. Storage

• Cool, Dry Place: Store sneakers in a cool, dry area, ideally in their original boxes or on a shoe rack.
• Avoid Piling: Don’t stack shoes directly on top of each other to prevent crushing.

6. Laces and Insoles

• Wash Laces: Regularly remove and wash laces to keep them clean.
• Replace Insoles: Consider replacing worn-out insoles for better comfort and hygiene.

7. Rotation

• Alternate Pairs: Rotate between multiple pairs to reduce wear and tear on any single pair.

8. Minor Repairs

• Fix Loose Soles: Use a strong adhesive to reattach any loose soles or parts.
• Suede Brush: Use a suede brush to restore the nap of suede materials.
