ribosradagastWhile I can't speak to the maintenance for this particular pair, I have another pair of white leather sneakers, and I've put them through hell for the past two years. Rain, mud, snow (bad idea), dirt. They have been incredibly easy to clean--just wipe with a damp cloth or kitchen towel. Kitchen towels are my favorite for cleaning sneakers. After, apply (plenty of) Saphir renovateur and you're golden. I can upload photos of the shoes if you want to see.

payodpandaI'd be curious to see what those look like. They are super easy to clean though @ribosradagast. As someone with a wall of of sneakers, it's the mesh and fabrics you have to worry about.

ribosradagast@Will Here are a few straight out-of-phone-camera shots, not color corrected. Of course, they aren't in pristine condition, and I don't want them to be. No matter what, the creases WILL develop, and over time they won't be in a condition to wear with suits (if that floats your boat). I don't wear sport-luxe, I simply use these in casual outfits, and I like how they are aging with time--I don't clean the sole edges much, just lightly swipe with a wet wipe. I also don't clean the laces, but I might soon.
I give the uppers a good cleaning maybe once a year (I've done that twice in the past 2+ years, the last time was earlier this month). The thorough cleaning helps clean the gunk off of the tongue (below the laces) and the insides of the shoes (insole etc).
In the second photo below, you can see (hopefully) a scuff mark on 1528. When I got that scuff, the pair was still very new (less than a month old) and I was mortified, honestly. But with time it has smoothed out, doesn't stand out much, and adds to the character. I'm actually glad I got that scuff, and it adds a story to the pair.
