FAQs

What makes this Air Force 3 special?

This edition is a collaboration with Japanese fashion designer Nigo, featuring unique 'jungle-inspired' earthy tones, premium hair-on cowhide and leather materials, and co-branded details, setting it apart from standard releases.

Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities?

While the Air Force 3 has roots as a basketball shoe and features Nike Air cushioning for comfort, this special edition is primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. It offers good support for daily use but is not intended for high-performance athletic activities.

How do I care for the hair-on cowhide material?

Care for hair-on cowhide by gently brushing it with a soft brush (e.g., a horsehair brush or soft toothbrush) in the direction of the hair to remove dirt. For stains, lightly dab with a clean, barely damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing.

What are the I Patch and Nike Pin for?

The I Patch and Nike Pin are included customization accessories. You can attach them to your sneakers or other personal items to add a unique, personalized touch, reflecting Nigo's distinctive aesthetic.

Is the sizing consistent with other Nike Air Force models?

Generally, Nike Air Force models tend to fit true to size. We recommend trying on your usual Nike size. Due to the premium materials, the break-in period might be slightly different than synthetic uppers.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the materials are durable, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended, especially for the hair-on cowhide and leather, as it can affect their appearance and longevity. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot technique. You might also consider replacing the original laces with slightly textured laces for better grip if the issue persists.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by air trapped between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath, and reinserting it, or apply a thin layer of baby powder underneath the insole.

Difficulty cleaning hair-on cowhide sections

For hair-on cowhide, use a very soft brush (like a toothbrush) and brush *with* the grain of the hair to remove loose dirt. For stubborn spots, use a barely damp cloth with pure water, dabbing gently, not rubbing. Allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The included I Patch and Nike Pin can be attached to customize your look; consider where they will best complement your personal style on the shoe or other accessories.

Compatibility

The Nike Air Force 3 Low SP Nigo is highly versatile for fashion-forward individuals. It pairs well with:

  • Casual Wear: Jeans, chinos, joggers, shorts.
  • Streetwear: Hoodies, graphic tees, cargo pants.
  • Smart Casual: Tailored trousers with an untucked button-down shirt for a stylish juxtaposition.
  • Its earthy brown, fir, hemp, and pecan tones make it a strong complement to neutral palettes, greens, creams, and even muted blues.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the premium materials:

  1. General Cleaning: Use a soft brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust from the horsehair textile and leather surfaces.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a damp, soft cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner or a specialized sneaker cleaning solution. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Horsehair Care: Be extra gentle with the horsehair sections. Avoid harsh scrubbing. If wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  4. Leather Protection: Consider applying a leather conditioner or protector to the leather overlays periodically to keep them supple and guard against stains.
  5. Drying: Always air dry sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain shape, and away from direct sunlight.
