FAQs

What is the inspiration behind this shoe?

This model is a collaboration between Nike and Jun Takahashi's brand, Undercover, debuting at the Paris Fashion Week FW18 show.

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

While they utilize comfortable React foam, they are designed as lifestyle fashion sneakers rather than performance athletic running shoes.

Does the mesh footbed need to be removed for washing?

It is recommended to remove the mesh footbed only for spot cleaning or airing out; avoid machine washing the shoes or the footbeds.

How should I choose my sock color?

Since the upper is translucent, your socks will be visible. Neutral tones generally complement the Beige Chalk colorway best.

Can I replace the insole with custom orthotics?

Yes, the mesh footbed is removable, allowing you to insert your own orthopedic insoles if needed.

Troubleshooting

Translucent upper appears cloudy

Gently wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with a mild water-based cleaning solution.

Insole comfort decreases over time

Remove the mesh footbed and ensure no debris is trapped underneath, then reposition it correctly to ensure a flat, stable fit.

Pros and Cons

  • Breathable and comfortable mesh footbed for all-day wear
  • Lightweight construction suitable for urban commuting

Cons

  • Translucent material can show off sock color and pattern clearly

  • Limited availability due to its status as a collaborative release

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As these are pre-assembled lifestyle trainers, no technical setup is required. For compatibility, the sizing is standard for the React Element series; ensure you select the appropriate UK size.

To maintain the shoe's condition:

  1. Surface Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the midsole and outsole.
  2. Stain Removal: For the translucent upper, use a slightly damp, lint-free cloth with a mild detergent solution. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could cloud or scratch the transparent material.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can potentially cause yellowing or brittleness in the semi-transparent plastics over time.
  4. Insole Maintenance: If the mesh footbed traps dust or debris, remove the insole and tap it against a hard surface, or use a soft vacuum attachment.
