FAQs

What does 'QS' stand for in the product name?

'QS' typically stands for 'Quickstrike,' indicating a limited-release or special edition sneaker often distributed through select retailers.

How do I clean the jeweled Swoosh?

Clean the jeweled Swoosh gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the coating.

Is this shoe suitable for running or sports?

No, the Nike Air Force 1 Mid Jewel QS is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. It offers comfort for walking but is not built for high-impact athletic activities.

What is the significance of the NYC branding?

The NYC branding on the tongue tag, ankle strap, and sockliner pays tribute to New York City, celebrating the shoe's iconic status and Nike's history of NYC-exclusive designs.

How do I adjust the ankle strap?

The ankle strap features a hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure, allowing you to loosen or tighten it for a secure and personalized fit around your ankle.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of cool grey tumbled leather, providing a premium feel and durability for everyday wear.

When was this specific colorway released?

The Nike Air Force 1 Mid Jewel NYC Cool Grey (DH5622-001) was released in October of 2021.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole, or between different parts of the shoe. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) under the insole or ensuring laces are not tied too tightly.

Leather creasing excessively

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Gentle conditioning can also help maintain leather flexibility.

Discoloration on the jewel Swoosh

The jewel Swoosh is a coated material. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the coating.

Poor fit or discomfort

Adjust the ankle strap for a more secure fit. Ensure the correct size was selected. Break-in periods may be required for new shoes; wear them for short durations initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Ensure you have selected the correct size before purchase. The adjustable ankle strap can be tightened or loosened to achieve a preferred fit.

Compatibility:

These shoes are designed for adult male wearers and are compatible with standard US/UK shoe sizing conventions. They are not intended for athletic performance in rigorous sports but are suitable for walking and casual activities.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner and a clean cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Cleaning the Sole: A damp cloth or a mild soap solution can be used to clean the rubber cupsole and outsole. Ensure all soap residue is wiped away.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed with mild detergent.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and direct sunlight. Avoid storing in damp conditions.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check the condition of the laces and the sole. Condition the leather periodically with a leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.
