FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?
While the Blazer Mid '77 Vintage has basketball roots, they are primarily designed as lifestyle or fashion trainers for everyday wear. They do not offer the advanced support or cushioning needed for competitive basketball play.
How do I clean the white leather parts?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution or a specialized leather cleaner can be applied sparingly with a soft cloth, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The primary material for the upper of these trainers is leather, with suede accents on certain parts of the design.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
These trainers provide standard cushioning and support suitable for general wear. They do not offer specialized arch support, and individuals requiring significant arch support may consider using aftermarket insoles.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials, especially the suede. Applying a waterproofing spray can offer some protection.
What does 'Vintage' refer to in the product name?
The 'Vintage' designation refers to the design aesthetic, which is inspired by original Nike Blazer models from the 1970s, incorporating classic materials and a retro silhouette.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Nike, using your UK foot measurement. These trainers are listed in UK adult men's sizes. Ensure your foot measurement is accurate for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear.
The leather may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Suede areas are getting dirty or wet.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently clean dry dirt. For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using water directly on suede and consider applying a suede protector spray for future prevention.
Laces are difficult to keep tied.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Inspect laces for wear and tear; worn laces may not hold knots as well. Replace laces if they are old or slippery.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.
Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris like pebbles or mud. Clean the sole with a brush and water. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn down; if so, replacement may be needed.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Exterior: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks on leather, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a damp cloth wipe.
- Cleaning Suede Accents: For suede areas, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid using water, as it can stain suede. A suede eraser can be helpful for tougher spots.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed with mild soap and water or machine-washed in a garment bag.
- Interior: Spot clean the inside with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure thorough drying.
- Drying: Always air dry trainers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproof or stain-repellent spray suitable for leather and suede to offer protection against the elements.
