Care: 

Plain Leather: Apply a thin layer of leather balm and once it’s dry, gently brush to keep the finish of the leather always in good conditions. Opt for softer hog bristles to make sure you don’t damage your sneakers. A leather protector spray is also an option to consider.

Suede: Use a brush to gently remove any dirt or dust. Brush in the direction of the fabric’s grain to avoid damaging it. Dry stains can be removed by using a white or brown gum eraser. If it doesn't work we advise you to visit your local cobbler and get additional advice.

Nubuck: Nubuck cloths are the best option to remove dirt and shiny spots. Wipe in several directions using circular motions and make sure you cover the entire nap area.

Rubber Soles: Clean the dirt with a dampened cloth and carefully soak the sole in a mixture of water and dishwashing soap. Make sure you don’t soak the upper part! Use a toothbrush with the mixture to scrub your soles. Once it’s done, dry the sneakers using a cloth.

Hello, my name is Melissa Silva, and I have a deep appreciation for all forms of art, including photography, dance, music, painting, fashion, and more. I love everything that involves creativity and artistic expression.

Some of my strengths are being attentive, understanding, and kind. At the same time, I recognise areas I want to improve, especially building more confidence and believing in myself. 

One of my biggest dreams is to study abroad, explore the world, and create sketches for series and films. I have several creative projects, but one of my main goals is to draw and develop prototypes and animations for series and films that make people feel welcome, represented, and seen.

The sneakers I chose are a model I instantly connected with, and I chose blue because it is one of my favorite colours. My experience in the iMAGINE project was very positive—I learned many new things, gained valuable knowledge, and truly enjoyed sharing this experience with others. I am very grateful.|section-left||section-right||section-right|
