FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
The Nike Cortez 'Yin and Yang Shroud White Black' is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-intensity athletic performance.
How do I remove the zipper tongue shroud?
Unzip the shroud completely. It should then detach from the main shoe.
Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and shoe construction.
What is the 'Yin and Yang' aspect of the design?
It refers to the visual separation and balance of design elements like the Swooshes, tongue, and heel, creating a distinct aesthetic.
What size should I order if I'm unsure?
Nike Cortez generally runs true to size. Refer to Nike's official size guide for accurate measurements if you are between sizes or unfamiliar with UK sizing.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather is not inherently waterproof. While it offers some resistance to light moisture, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or water.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Squeaking sound from soles.
This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. It may resolve with wear. Ensure the soles are clean and dry.
Difficulty removing or attaching the zipper shroud.
Ensure the zipper is fully open before attempting to remove the shroud. Check for any debris caught in the zipper mechanism.
Color transfer from black stripes to white leather.
While unlikely with quality materials, ensure the shoes are completely dry before storing them together. If transfer occurs, use a leather cleaner suitable for white leather.

Care Instructions:
- Leather Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
