FAQs
What makes the Nike Space Hippie 01 sustainable?
The shoe features an upper made from 'Space Waste Yarn,' which is derived from recycled plastic bottles and fabric scraps. The midsole is crafted from Crater Foam, utilizing manufacturing waste.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Nike Space Hippie 01 is designed primarily for comfort and lifestyle wear. While lightweight, they are not engineered with the specific support and cushioning features typically found in dedicated running shoes.
How should I clean the Crater Foam midsole?
The Crater Foam midsole can be cleaned by wiping it with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for tougher marks, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
What is the fit like?
The shoe has a sock-like collar and a Flyknit upper, which provides a snug and adaptable fit. It is generally considered true to size, but the fit can feel snug due to the material.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash or tumble dry the Nike Space Hippie 01, as this can damage the recycled materials and construction. Hand washing and air drying are the preferred methods.
What other colorways or versions are available?
The Space Hippie collection includes various colorways and models like the Space Hippie 02, 03, and 04, often featuring different combinations of recycled materials and design elements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The Flyknit upper offers some stretch. Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Discoloration on the upper
Gently spot clean with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, consult specialized shoe cleaning guides for recycled materials.
Slipping sensation
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for a secure fit. Check that the outsole is free from debris that might affect traction.
