Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off (too tight or too loose)
Ensure you have accurately measured your foot length and compared it to the Nike sizing chart. Different models can fit slightly differently. If they are too tight, breaking them in gently or using shoe stretchers might help. If too loose, consider using thicker socks or insoles.
Suede is stained or dirty
Use a suede eraser for dry marks and a soft-bristled suede brush for general dirt. For more stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, applying it sparingly and following the product's instructions. Always allow suede to air dry naturally.
Color bleeding on socks or lighter materials
This can occasionally happen with dyed suede, especially when wet. Ensure the shoes are dry before wearing. If bleeding occurs, wash affected socks immediately. Consider using a color-safe suede sealant.
Laces are worn or dirty
Clean laces by hand washing with mild soap and water, then air dry. If laces are frayed or damaged, they can be easily replaced with standard shoelaces of a similar length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These are ready-to-wear shoes. No assembly or setup is required upon purchase. It is recommended to try them on to ensure a proper fit before wearing them outdoors.
Compatibility:
- Sizing: These shoes are designed for adult sizing. Please refer to Nike's official sizing chart and measure your foot length accurately before purchasing to ensure the best fit. Consider the nature of suede, which can be less forgiving than other materials.
- Use: Best suited for casual wear, light skateboarding, and lifestyle purposes. Not recommended for intense athletic activities where performance-specific footwear is required.
Care Instructions:
- Suede Maintenance: Regularly use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt from the suede. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
- Cleaning: For the rubber sole and other non-suede parts, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Do not machine wash.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, though test on an inconspicuous area first.
