Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid - Black - Trainers - UK 5.5

This model is a collaboration with OFF-WHITE, featuring unique materials like wood grain-textured mesh, clear TPU Swooshes, and a distinct warped midsole with track-inspired outsoles, celebrating the Air Force 1's 40th anniversary with Virgil Abloh's signature style.

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the mesh. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water to protect the material's unique texture and integrity.

The spiked outsole is primarily a design element referencing track spikes. While it can offer grip, it's best suited for general walking on paved surfaces. Avoid rough terrain where spikes could be damaged.

The primary color is black, with clear TPU Swooshes and multi-colored accents on the midsole and outsole.

The Nike OFF-WHITE x Air Force 1 Mid 'Black' was released in June of 2022.

The materials used, particularly the mesh, are not inherently water-resistant. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their condition.

'Avant-garde' refers to the shoe's experimental and innovative design, pushing boundaries beyond traditional sneaker aesthetics with its unique textures, materials, and warped sole structure.

This can be due to the new materials. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The wood grain mesh and ripstop are designed for structure.

Ensure the shoe is not being excessively bent or stressed. If a separation is significant and seems like a defect, contact the retailer for potential warranty or return options.

Gently unfasten the strap completely and re-fasten it, ensuring the ripstop material lies flat. Avoid forcing the strap.

This can sometimes happen with new shoe construction. Try wearing them on different surfaces, or a light dusting of baby powder inside the shoe near the tongue might help if the noise originates from friction there.
