FAQs

What does 'QS' stand for in the product name?

'QS' typically stands for 'Quickstrike,' indicating a limited-release or special edition product.

How do I clean the jewel Swoosh?

The jewel Swoosh can be cleaned gently with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to prevent damage to the coating.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While comfortable for daily wear, these are primarily lifestyle sneakers. They are not designed for rigorous athletic training but offer good cushioning for walking and casual use.

What is the main inspiration behind this shoe?

The Nike Air Force 1 Mid Jewel QS 'NYC - Cool Grey' pays tribute to New York City's significant influence on sneaker culture, featuring specific NYC branding elements.

How does the tumbled leather differ from regular leather?

Tumbled leather has been processed to create a softer, more textured feel with a pebbled appearance, often making it more resistant to minor scuffs compared to smooth leather.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but the shoes are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is the sole construction?

The shoe features a durable rubber cupsole with an encapsulated Air-Sole unit in the heel for cushioning, paired with a pivot-point rubber outsole for traction.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Normal for leather. To minimize, avoid overtightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Swoosh appears dull or dirty

Gently clean with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Ankle strap feels too tight or loose

Adjust the hook-and-loop fastener for a personalized fit. Ensure the shoe fits correctly before adjusting the strap.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure correct sizing. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Wear with appropriate socks.
