FAQs
What makes the Nike Space Hippie 01 sustainable?
The shoe is constructed using a high percentage of recycled materials, including 'Space Waste Yarn' made from recycled plastic bottles and fabric scraps, and Zoom X foam waste repurposed for the insoles.
How does the Crater Foam midsole perform?
The Crater Foam midsole is designed to be lightweight and responsive, offering cushioning for everyday wear. It also features unique multicolored flecks from recycled foam.
Is the Flyknit upper durable?
Flyknit is known for its durability and flexibility. However, like all knit materials, it can be susceptible to snags. Proper care is recommended.
What is the intended use for the Nike Space Hippie 01?
These shoes are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear. Their lightweight and comfortable nature makes them suitable for walking and general daily activities.
How should I clean the multicolored flecks on the midsole?
The flecks are an inherent part of the Crater Foam material. Clean the midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid aggressive scrubbing that could damage the material's texture.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole offers some grip, the knit upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What does 'Space Waste Yarn' mean?
Space Waste Yarn is a Nike material made from recycled plastic bottles, fabric scraps, and other recycled materials, contributing to the shoe's sustainable profile.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
The Flyknit upper is designed to stretch slightly and conform to the foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure the laces are not overtightened.
Difficulty putting on the shoes.
Utilize the tongue and heel pull tabs to assist in sliding the shoe onto your foot. Ensure the sock-like collar is fully opened before insertion.
Excessive dirt or staining on the upper.
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the affected area, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides grip on most common surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris, as dirt buildup can reduce traction.
