Your sneakers and clothing from Pikastore.cz are designed for stylish and comfortable wear. However, proper care is essential to keep these pieces in top condition for as long as possible. Here you will find detailed care instructions for individual models and clothing categories, which will help you avoid complaints caused by improper use or maintenance.
1. Sneakers – How to care for specific models
Nike (Dunk, Air Max, Air Force, Kobe, Dunk Low SB and other Nike models)
Intended use: Nike sneakers are designed primarily for casual wear and light sports activities. They are not suitable for exposure to extreme conditions (moisture, mud, salt, high temperatures).
Cleaning: Use a soft brush and a damp cloth. Special cleaners for sports shoes will ensure that the soles and textile parts remain clean. Do not use chemical products containing bleach.
Drying: We recommend drying at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Also avoid using dryers or heaters to avoid deforming the sole.
Protection: We recommend applying impregnation to protect against water and dirt, especially on suede and textile parts.
Jordan (Jordan 1 Low, Mid, High, Jordan 3, 4, 5, 11 and more)
Purpose: Lifestyle shoes inspired by basketball. Jordan models are designed for casual wear in dry urban conditions.
Cleaning: Clean with a soft brush and a damp cloth. For leather parts, use special leather balms to restore the appearance and protect against cracking.
Drying: Never dry in direct sunlight or near heat sources. Treat suede models with a special suede product and avoid contact with water.
Limitations: Not intended for outdoor activities or extreme mechanical stress (e.g. intense sports). Inappropriate use includes walking in rain, snow or mud.
Adidas (Campus, Gazelle, Samba, Spezial, Forum, NMD, Ultraboost and others)
Intended use: Lifestyle sneakers for everyday wear, some models (e.g. Ultraboost) are suitable for lighter sports activities.
Cleaning: Brush the textile parts gently and remove stains with a damp cloth. For white models, we recommend special bleaching cleaning products.
Drying: When drying, use wooden stretchers to maintain shape.
Note: For models with textile uppers, such as the NMD or Ultraboost, avoid contact with sharp objects that could damage the surface.

Intended use: Exclusive design pieces primarily for dry urban environments.
Cleaning: Clean with a soft brush and products designed for mesh or suede (for models 350, 500 and 700). The Slide and Foam Runner are easy to clean with a damp cloth.
Protection: Apply water-repellent impregnation to suede parts. For Slide and Foam Runner models, do not use harsh chemicals that can damage the material.

2. Clothing – Proper maintenance for every piece
Sweatshirts, T-shirts, jackets, sweatpants, pants, shorts, underwear
Washing: Follow the instructions on the labels of each garment. Wash at a low temperature (30°C) and avoid harsh detergents, especially for colored and printed garments.
Drying: Do not use a dryer unless specifically recommended. Air drying will prolong the life of the fibers and prevent warping.
Ironing: Some materials, such as cotton, can be ironed at a medium temperature. Synthetic materials, such as polyester, require lower temperatures.
Special care: Turn sweatshirts and t-shirts with feather prints inside out to prevent the print from rubbing off. Jackets and coats may require dry cleaning (especially feather models).
