FAQs
What is 'Space Waste Yarn'?
'Space Waste Yarn' is Nike's term for yarn made from approximately 90% recycled content, including recycled polyester, foam, and rubber, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
The Nike Space Hippie 01 is designed primarily for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good traction for everyday activities, they are not optimized for high-intensity athletic performance or sports.
How should I clean the speckled sole?
The speckled sole is made from recycled materials. Clean it gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
What is the main environmental benefit of this shoe?
The primary environmental benefit is the significant use of recycled materials, reducing waste and the need for virgin resources in production. The 'Space Hippie' line represents Nike's commitment to sustainability.
Can I machine wash my Space Hippie 01s?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand-clean gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Does the 'Healing Jade' colorway come in other sizes?
This guide specifically refers to the 'Healing Jade' colorway in UK Size 5. Other colorways and sizes are available within the Nike Space Hippie series, such as 'Black' and 'Black Volt'.
Is the entire shoe made from recycled materials?
The upper is made from approximately 90% recycled content ('Space Waste Yarn'). Other components like the foam midsole and rubber outsole also incorporate recycled materials, but the exact percentage may vary across different parts of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
The unique knit upper and construction of the Space Hippie line can result in a slightly different fit compared to traditional Nike shoes. Consider trying them on or checking specific user reviews for fit guidance. If purchased online, consult the retailer's return policy for exchanges.
Discoloration of recycled materials
Faint variations in color are normal due to the nature of recycled materials. For general cleaning, use a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can accelerate fading.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
