FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The NOCTA Glide trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle wear and casual comfort. While they feature Zoom Air cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the carbon-fibre accents on the midsole?
Gently wipe the carbon-fibre accents with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a very mild soap solution, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the primary inspiration behind the NOCTA Glide?
The NOCTA Glide is inspired by the iconic Zoom Flight 95s and basketball heritage, reinterpreted with a signature NOCTA spin for lifestyle moments.
What makes the upper breathable?
The trainers feature a textile upper designed to allow air circulation, contributing to a more breathable and lightweight feel for the wearer.
What is the benefit of the GTEK outsole?
The GTEK outsole is engineered to provide enhanced traction and durability, offering reliable grip on various surfaces.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the textile upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.
What does 'NOCTA' signify?
NOCTA represents the nocturnal, creative mindset and is a sub-label created in partnership with Nike, embodying a distinct aesthetic and lifestyle.
Troubleshooting
Slight creasing on the upper
Some creasing is normal with textile uppers. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing.
Traction feels inconsistent on wet surfaces
The GTEK outsole provides good traction on dry and moderately damp surfaces. For very wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution.
Difficulty with heel slipping
Ensure the laces are tied appropriately. The heel pull tab is for ease of wear; correct lacing provides secure fit.
Discoloration on translucent outsole
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals, which can affect the appearance of translucent rubber. Clean gently as per care instructions.
