Protect your sneakers with CREP

Protect your sneakers with CREP



Today marks the beginning of autumn, and if you're already thinking about taking your warm clothes out of the boxes where they've been stored during the summer, we remind you that it's time to look at your shoes. They often accompany you through all seasons and it's important that you maintain your sneakers, boots and sandals.


To help you in that regard, we have Crep Protect. Crep is a brand specialising in sneakers care, and can be used with other footwear. Founded in 2012 by Jason Black, and brothers Imran, Nohman and Rizwan Ahmed, the British company has a protection line, a cleaning line and an accessory line. At BZR-Street Style Culture you'll find products from all three lines and we'll explain what each product is for.


We start with the item that was responsible for Crep's initial success: the Crep Protect Cure spray. Designed to safeguard sneakers by preventing the appearance of stains, this spray uses nanoparticles that create an invisible barrier of protection. With a correct application of the spray, your sneakers will be protected for a fortnight from rain and any liquid that falls on them.



CREP



Using the spray is quite simple. First of all, you have to clean your sneakers. It doesn't have to be a deep clean, but you should get rid of all the dust, dirt or any major grime. The best way to do this is by using the Crep hair brush, brushing in a circular motion. Then you take the spray, shake it (attention, this step is fundamental! The totality of the components of the barrier will only be used if you shake the package) and apply it to the sneaker from 20cm away.


The brand's advice is to start spraying from the top of the laces to the toe-cap of the sneakers. From there, run down one side to the heel and repeat on the other side. You should let it dry for 10 minutes in the sun and then spray again, letting it rest for another 10 minutes after the second layer. From then on, you can test the sneakers at will and leave home relaxed. This product works on suede, leather, Nubuck, canvas, mesh, vinyl and Primeknit.


However, imagine that you left home with some sneakers that weren't protected and the worst happened: you got dirty! That's when the Crep Protect wipes come into action. They were designed to take charge of cleaning up slight dirt before it dries and gets ingrained. Each wipe has two sides, with different purposes. The soft side is for general cleaning, dealing with dirt that's easy to remove. The textured side is designed for tough stains.

The wipes are good in the first place, but if you need a deep clean, the Crep Protect Cure cleaning kit is ideal. In the kit, you'll find a hair brush, a microfiber cloth and the Crep Protect Cure solution. The cleaning solution, which can also be bought separately, will work deep into the fabric of the sneakers and remove dirt. Using a container of warm water, wet the brush in the water, add a small amount of the solution to the hair brush and brush your sneakers in circular motions. Then use the microfibre cloth to clean and remove the foam. Repeat steps if necessary. Finally, let them dry and they'll be ready to use.


If, by any chance, you need a specific cleaning on suede or Nubuck, you also have the option of the Crep Protect rubber. Besides cleaning quickly and gently, the rubber also gives a new polish to the upper layer of your sneakers.


So far we've talked about the products from the cleaning and protection lines, and there is a Crep pack that joins the two. However, there are still accessories that will help you increase the durability of your footwear. Two of them are the Crep Protect moulds and the Crep Protect Shield. The first ones are simple moulds that keep the shape of the sneaker when they are stored. The latter do the same, even when you have them on. In the shape of a padded arch, the Shield fits inside the sneakers, making them stay with their original shape. In addition, these shapes give a pleasant smell to the shoes, thanks to their built-in perfume.

Since we're on the subject of scent, we couldn't fail to mention the Crep Protect capsules. When activated, they absorb moisture and odours, replacing them with a fresh fragrance. The capsules have nShield properties and Zeolite particles. In addition to all this, you will also find insoles, laces and a Crep storage box. The box has UV protection, to prevent the fabrics from discolouring, and is closed, so that dust doesn't land on the sneakers.


Now that you know everything you need to take care of your shoes, what are you waiting for? Your sneakers have to look their best for this new season! Take a look at our website and get to know all the Crep Protect available products.
