FAQs

What makes this Air Force 1 a 'Protro' model?

'Protro' typically signifies a retro sneaker updated with modern technology. In this case, it features ReactX foam combined with Nike Air cushioning for improved comfort over traditional retro releases.

Are the team logos authentic F.C. Barcelona emblems?

Yes, the shoe incorporates official F.C. Barcelona team logos on key areas like the dubrae and tongue, signifying the collaboration.

What is ReactX foam?

ReactX foam is an updated version of Nike's React foam, designed to offer even greater energy return and improved sustainability compared to its predecessor.

How does the snakeskin texture affect durability?

The snakeskin texture is applied to a premium leather base, which is inherently durable. The texture itself does not significantly compromise durability but requires appropriate care.

Is this a limited edition release?

As a special collaboration, this model is typically released in limited quantities, making it a collectible item.

What other sizes are available for this model?

This specific listing is for UK size 11. Other sizes may be available through different listings or retailers.

Can I wear these for playing basketball?

While the Air Force 1 silhouette originated as a basketball shoe, this Protro model with its specific materials and lifestyle focus is best suited for casual wear and not recommended for rigorous athletic performance like basketball.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try sprinkling baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe or on the insole to absorb moisture causing friction. If it persists, the insole might be rubbing against the inside of the shoe; try removing and reinserting it.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid overly tight lacing and try using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape. Ensure proper fit to prevent unnecessary stress on flex points.

Difficulty cleaning snakeskin texture

Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp microfiber cloth. Gently wipe along the grain of the texture. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly to a cloth, not directly to the shoe.

Compatibility: While designed as a lifestyle sneaker, their durable construction and comfortable cushioning make them suitable for casual wear and light activities. They pair well with a variety of casual outfits.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Leather: For the snakeskin-textured leather, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Suede/Textile Areas: If applicable to specific sections, use a specialized sneaker cleaner and a soft brush. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Outsoles: Clean the rubber outsoles with mild soap and water. A brush can help remove debris from treads.
  4. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain shape and protect materials.
