For sneakerheads, kicks are the most important part of any wardrobe! However, keeping those new creps looking box-fresh can be an everyday struggle.
Instead of keepin’ ya triple whites hidden away, we’ve rounded up our top 5 tips to help you tackle every weather challenge, stain, mark and more:

With the Crep Protect Eraser you’ve a pocket sized tool that cleans, cleanses and rebuffs your suede to look just like new – ideal for freshening up ya kicks on the move.
3. Don’t Let Them Meet The Washing Machine
Washing machines are powerful – fighting stains and dirt on your gear since day one. But, when it comes to your freshest sneaks, they’re a no-go. The washing machine can ruin your fave pair; from softening the leather to cracking patent uppers.
Instead, take the time to prep your kicks with water-resistant spray, tackle stains head on and your washing machine won’t ever need to know…
4. Look At Ya Laces
Laces are a quick-fix when it comes to cleanin’ up your kicks. When these guys need a little re-vitalizing, the easiest thing to do is take them out and give them a wash. Put them in one of ya socks or a net laundry bag so you don’t lose them and add them to your normal wash. Good as new…
