FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by vintage running shoes, these are designed as lifestyle footwear and are not intended for long-distance or high-performance running.

How do I protect the suede from getting dirty?

It is highly recommended to apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first wear.

What is the sizing like for this model?

The Air Max 1 generally fits true to size, but those with wider feet may find the suede material provides less stretch than mesh variants.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can destroy the suede texture and compromise the adhesive and Air Max unit integrity.

What inspired the 'Design By Japan' series?

This series draws heavily from the aesthetic and design cues of the late 70s Nike Sting running shoe.

Troubleshooting

Light dirt on suede surface

Use a soft-bristled suede brush and gently wipe in a single direction to lift the fibers.

Scuff marks on the suede

Use a specialized suede eraser, rubbing gently against the grain to lift the mark without damaging the material.

Water spots or heavy staining

Consult a professional sneaker cleaning service, as household chemicals can permanently discolor or stiffen the suede.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the 'Design By Japan' utilizes suede as a primary material, proper care is essential to maintain the vibrant color and texture. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or muddy conditions to prevent permanent staining or water spotting. For cleaning, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede eraser for light scuffs. Never machine wash or soak the shoes. Regarding compatibility, the neutral green and white tone makes them highly versatile, pairing well with denim, neutral-toned joggers, or casual cotton trousers. Always store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
