How do I clean and care for my sneakers?

Proper care keeps your wholesale athletic footwear looking sharp and extends its lifespan, which is great for resale value. Start by removing loose dirt with a soft brush after each wear. For most synthetic and mesh uppers, mix a small amount of mild detergent with lukewarm water, dip a cloth or soft brush, and gently scrub in circles. Avoid soaking the shoes entirely, and never machine wash them unless the supplier’s spec sheet says otherwise—this can warp the sole and stitching.

For suede or nubuck styles, use a dedicated suede eraser or brush instead of water. Clean white midsoles with a paste of baking soda and water, then wipe off. Always air-dry at room temperature with paper towels inside to hold shape—never use direct heat. Rotate between pairs to reduce wear, and store them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent yellowing.

If you need durable, easy-to-clean designs for your inventory, check our Nike Running or Jordan collections. Many styles use high-quality materials that handle routine cleaning well.
