FAQs

Are these shoes intended for on-court performance?

While they use the Air Force 1 silhouette, this edition is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear.

What does 'Siempre Hermano' mean?

It translates to 'Always Brothers,' serving as a tribute to the deep bond between Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

These trainers follow standard Nike sizing conventions. We recommend purchasing the size you typically wear in Nike Air Force 1 models.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the structural integrity and the vibrant coloring of the shoes.

Is the Lakers Purple and Gold colorway prone to fading?

Like all pigmented footwear, colors can fade with excessive UV exposure. Storing them in a dark, cool environment will help preserve the vibrancy.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box

Creasing is natural with leather trainers. Use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the original shape.

Difficulty cleaning light-colored portions

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for sensitive colors rather than harsh household detergents to avoid discoloration.

Shoes feeling stiff initially

Air Force 1s often require a short break-in period; wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Force 1 trainers remain in top condition, follow these recommendations:

  • Sizing: These are standard Nike sizing. If you have worn Air Force 1s before, stick with your usual size.
  • Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap solution to spot-clean the exterior. Avoid machine washing, as the agitator can damage the materials and vibrant dyes.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the University Gold and Purple pigments from fading over time.
  • Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray compatible with synthetic and leather materials to shield the upper from minor spills and dirt.
