FAQs
What materials are the Nike Space Hippie 01 made from?
The shoes are primarily constructed from recycled materials, including 'Space Waste Yarn' made from recycled plastic bottles and fabric scraps, and Zoom X foam waste for the insoles.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While lightweight, the Nike Space Hippie 01 is designed for casual wear. For dedicated running, specialized Nike running shoes would offer better performance and support.
How do I clean the multicolored flecks on the midsole?
The flecks are an integral part of the Crater Foam. Clean the midsole with a damp cloth; the flecks should remain as part of the material's design.
What is the main benefit of the Space Hippie collection?
The primary benefit is its commitment to sustainability, using recycled and repurposed materials to minimize environmental impact while maintaining style and comfort.
How does the fit compare to other Nike casual shoes?
The Space Hippie 01 features a sock-like fit due to its Flyknit upper. It tends to be snug and form-fitting. It is recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the breathable Flyknit upper and recycled materials do not provide significant water resistance. They are best suited for dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially. The Flyknit upper may stretch slightly with wear. Consider trying a half-size up if the tightness is significant.
Midsole has scuff marks
Gently scrub the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously.
Tongue or collar feels abrasive
Ensure socks are worn correctly and fully cover the ankle area. The fit may adjust after a break-in period.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the Flyknit and 'Space Waste Yarn' upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the recycled materials.
- Cleaning the Midsole: Wipe the Crater Foam midsole with a damp cloth. Stubborn marks can be addressed with a mild soap and water solution, followed by a thorough wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to preserve the materials.
