FAQs
What does 'pre-dirtied' mean for this shoe?
The 'pre-dirtied' or 'faded' appearance means the shoe is designed to look like it has been worn and aged, with a deliberately distressed color finish, rather than being genuinely dirty.
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, the 'SB' designation indicates that these are part of Nike's Skateboarding line, featuring design elements and cushioning intended for skateboarding performance.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of suede, contributing to its premium feel and vintage aesthetic.
How do I clean the faded black suede?
Use a suede brush or eraser for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly and avoid soaking the material. Always allow to air dry.
What is the main difference between this and a standard Blazer Mid?
The main differences are the SB designation (meaning skateboarding-specific features like enhanced cushioning and durability) and the unique 'faded black' colorway, which includes SB Dunk styling elements.
What color are the subtle accents mentioned?
The interior lining and branded insoles feature subtle teal accents.
When were these shoes released?
The Nike Blazer Mid Faded Black was released on March 29, 2021.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid excessive moisture.
Reduced grip on the outsole.
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Ensure the sole is completely dry before use.
Laces are worn or broken.
Replace laces with a similar length and material. Standard shoelaces are compatible.
