FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?

What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from natural leather.
How do I clean the Jewel Swoosh?
Clean the Jewel Swoosh gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaning chemicals that could damage the finish.
Do these shoes have good arch support?

Where are these sneakers manufactured?
These Nike Air Force 1 Jewel sneakers are manufactured in Vietnam.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose
Nike Air Force 1s can fit differently depending on the release. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult detailed sizing charts and user reviews. If slightly tight, break-in time or thinner socks might help. If too loose, consider thicker socks or insoles.
Creasing on the leather upper
Creasing is a natural process for leather footwear, especially in high-flex areas like the toe box. To minimize visible creasing, use shoe trees when storing the sneakers. Avoid bending the shoes excessively when walking.
Swoosh or other details appear damaged
Inspect the item upon receipt. If damage is present, contact the seller immediately. Minor imperfections can sometimes occur during manufacturing. For wear and tear, gentle cleaning is advised.
Discoloration after cleaning
Ensure you are using appropriate cleaning agents for leather and have avoided harsh chemicals or excessive water. Always use a damp, not wet, cloth and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
