If youโre rocking Nike Dunks or Air Force 1s, you already know the real battle is keeping that toe box from looking like a crushed soda can ๐๐
Here are a few easy ways to keep your kicks crisp:
๐ Use crease guards
Slide-in crease protectors keep the shape of the toe box and stop that deep bend when you walk.
๐ Donโt wear them soggy
Moisture = softer leather = faster creasing. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper or a shoe tree until theyโre fully dry.
๐ Store them right
Keep shoe trees in them or stuff them when youโre not wearing them. It keeps the leather tight and prevents sagging.
๐ Rotate your pairs
Wearing the same Forces or Dunks every day is the quickest way to wear them out. Give them a day off.
๐ Walk correctly (yes, it matters)
Donโt drag your feet or bend hard on the toes. Walk flat and lift from the heel โ your kicks will thank you ๐
๐ Keep them clean & conditioned
Soft leather conditioner keeps them firm but flexible and helps prevent creases from setting in.
Fresh kicks stay fresher longer when you show them some love. ๐ฏ๐ฅ
