FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
No, while the Nike Blazer has basketball roots, the '77 Vintage model is designed as a lifestyle sneaker. It is not recommended for high-performance athletic activities.
How do I prevent creasing on the leather upper?
Creasing is a natural part of wearing leather shoes. To minimize it, you can use shoe trees when storing them and avoid buying a size too large, which can lead to more prominent creases.
What materials are these shoes made from?
These sneakers feature a smooth white leather upper, hairy suede on the forefoot, grey suede mudguards, a classic rubber sole, and a woven tongue label.
How should I clean the white leather and black Swoosh?
For general cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks on the leather, use a mild soap solution and wipe gently. The black Swoosh is also leather and can be cleaned similarly.
Do Nike Blazers run true to size?
Generally, Nike Blazers are considered true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. If you are unsure, trying them on or consulting a size guide is recommended. This particular model is a UK size 15.
Troubleshooting
My white leather Blazers are getting dirty/scuffed easily.
Regularly wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water, then wipe clean. Consider applying a leather protector spray before first wear.
The suede parts look dull or have collected dust.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the suede in one direction. For dry mud or dirt, let it dry completely, then gently brush it off. A suede eraser can help with minor scuffs and marks.
My new Blazers feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable.
Leather sneakers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot. Wearing thick, comfortable socks can also help during this period.
The rubber sole is discolored or dirty.
Clean the sole with a mild soap and water solution using a brush (like an old toothbrush). For yellowing, there are specialized sole cleaning solutions available, but always test them on an inconspicuous area first.

Care and Maintenance
Maintaining the pristine look of your white leather and suede Blazers requires regular, gentle care.
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede before the first wear. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt and dust.
- Spot Cleaning Leather: For minor scuffs or dirt on the white leather, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted with water). Wipe gently, then follow with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue. Air dry away from direct heat.
- Suede Care: For the hairy suede sections and mudguards, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended. Always brush in one direction to avoid damaging the material.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush or an old toothbrush with mild soap and water to clean the white rubber sole. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the shoe and prevent excessive creasing when not in use.
