The shoes are meant to get beat up. To show signs of wear and collect dirt and stains. I believe they leave the materials untreated rather than standard coated materials used for sneakers.

Tom Sachs did this with the mesh on the mars yards 2.0.

I understand ppl will want to keep these oristine, esoecially those who paid resale etc so I would say best bet is to spray with repellant and pray.

Would Crep spray be ideal

I find most of the spray brands to more or less be the same. Crep, Jason mark, sofsole, mint, champs. It might be a little odd w these since there are so many different materials on them.

Whats the material on the toe box? Can anyone confirm?

Kind of a soft mesh like material. Not leather at all. Super prone to dirt, stains, life in general.

I was thinking this also, i know the shoes art like artwork & the materials are quite lux, but i think they're meant to be beat to high hell, think of them as quality selvedge denim that you pay a premium for, then wear them until it fades, whiskers & tears & forms to you perfectly.

Neutral Acrylic resolene might work. It's a finisher for dyed leathers. But be really careful as I would only treat the underside. Not sure if it will alter anything you accidently get it on that's visible
