How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to Nike's official sizing chart and measure your foot. The Air Force 1 generally runs true to size, but personal preference for snugness may vary.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

While the leather offers some protection, these are not designed for heavy rain. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to preserve the material and finish.

What is the original retail price?

The shoe originally retailed for approximately $110 USD.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

Troubleshooting

Laces loosening frequently.

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.

Leather creasing excessively.

Creasing is natural with leather; to minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and ensure proper fit. Use shoe trees for storage when not in use.

Metallic Swoosh losing shine.

Gently wipe the Swoosh with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, which can damage the finish.

Sole becoming discolored.

Clean the sole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged contact with certain surfaces that may cause staining.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the leather.
  • Cleaning the Sole: A brush with mild soap and water can be effective for cleaning the rubber sole. Ensure the shoe is dry before storing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect from dust and sunlight. Avoid storing in direct heat, which can damage the leather.
  • Maintenance: Consider using a leather protector spray to help guard against moisture and stains, especially for the premium leather and metallic finishes.
